The article considers a challenging issue of creating an effective mechanism for attracting foreign investments in the Russian electric power industry. Based on the findings about the shortcomings of the existing mechanisms the author identified the basic requirements that must be met by a new investment mechanism. It proves the importance of phased and multi-scenario planning long-term development strategy of the industry, including stress modeling in assessing the sustainability of projects and the sector as a whole.
