President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced the launch of a major overhaul of state-owned companies in the energy sector. According to him, the reset will take place in parallel with a full audit of the enterprises’ financial activities.
The plan was defined during a meeting with Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko and Minister of Economy Oleksii Sobolev.
In particular:
- Energoatom — within a week, all conditions must be created to form a new professional supervisory board, followed by a complete reset of the company’s management.
- Ukrhydroenergo — an urgent competition for a new CEO will be held, and the supervisory board will be strengthened.
- Gas Transmission System Operator of Ukraine (GTSOU) — the supervisory board will be completed and a competition for a new CEO will be launched.
- Naftogaz of Ukraine — since the contracts of the current supervisory board expire in January 2026, a competition will be announced so the new board can start working at the beginning of 2026.
- Other major state-owned energy companies will also see updates to the state’s representatives on their supervisory boards.
Zelensky instructed the government to maintain constant, substantive communication with law enforcement and anti-corruption agencies. He emphasized that any detected scheme in the energy companies will receive a swift and fair response.
“Full transparency and integrity in the energy sector is an absolute priority,” the President said.
