The technical condition of electric networks of 35-750 kV is analysed. The main reasons for decrease in reliability of electric networks are established. Aging of fixed assets represents a serious problem for power industry of Russia. The main technical requirements to networks of new generation are considered: increase in service life till 50 years and reliability of power supply, reduction of terms of construction and decrease in expenses for work. Experiment of the Russian network companies on introduction of new forms of support of the high voltage line and modification of existing designs of support and their elements with application of new materials and technologies is analysed. Prospects of development of electric networks are considered. Categories of technical means of increase of energy efficiency in electric networks are stated. Actions of increase of profitability and operational reliability are given at a construction and reconstruction of electric networks.
