Government appoints new Energoatom supervisory board
The Government has appointed a new supervisory board for Energoatom based on the Nomination Committee's proposal. This is an important decision in the process of reforming Energoatom NNEGC. This was announced by Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Svyrydenko.
The new supervisory board consists of seven members. The independent members of the supervisory board include Rumina Velshi, Laura Garbenciute-Bakiene, Patrick Fragman, and Brice Bujon. All of them are respected international experts with many years of experience in the fields of nuclear energy, finance, risk management, and legal regulation. Elected as state representatives are: Deputy Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine Vitaliy Kindrativ, Head of the State Agency for Restoration and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine, Serhii Sukhomlyn, and State Secretary of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine Maksym Malashkin.
"The competition was held with the participation of independent representatives of the EU, the EBRD, the IFC and the Business Ombudsman in accordance with a comprehensive, open, and competitive procedure applicable to all strategically important state-owned enterprises. The Government took all the necessary steps to restart management and followed the recommendations of its partners to hold the competition in a full, rather than reduced, format," Yulia Svyrydenko emphasised.
During her first meeting with the new members of the supervisory board of NNEGC Energoatom, the Head of Government set the task of urgently appointing new management for the company. For the period necessary for the appointment, the Government has instructed that the company's temporary management be replaced.
According to Yulia Svyrydenko, the new supervisory board must also conduct a full analysis of the company's previous activities: contracts, purchases and auctions for the sale of electricity, taking into account information from law enforcement agencies, the media and members of the Verkhovna Rada.
