“Now, in close cooperation with the G7, the EU, the EBRD and the IMF, we are working on a detailed plan to restart corporate governance at Energoatom.” According to the latest changes to the charter, there should be seven members: four independent and three representatives of the state. The main direction is to hold the competition according to the specified procedure, but with the maximum mobilization of all efforts so that the Supervisory Board appears by the end of the year,” he told reporters.
According to him, there will be a public announcement of requirements, then 10 working days for the collection of applications, formation of a short list by the recruiter, interviews with candidates by the Nomination Committee (which includes international partners as observers) and approval of the final list.
The minister noted that the competition for two independent members was announced in September, and all the preparatory work on the part of the recruiter had already been done.
“Therefore, we can talk about the possibility of completing a full-fledged competition by the end of the year. Without this, the selection of the full Supervisory Board usually lasts from three to six months or more,” he added.

On November 10, NABU announced the disclosure of the activities of a criminal organization, the main focus of which was “systematic obtaining of illegal benefits from Energoatom’s counterparties in the amount of 10% to 15% of the value of contracts.”
In this case, suspicion was reported to eight persons. “Schemes” published the names of seven suspects. According to sources in the law enforcement agencies, this is a businessman, co-founder of the studio “Kvartal-95” Timur Mindich (code name “Carlson” on NABU tapes), ex-adviser of the Minister of Energy Ihor Mironyuk (“Rocket”), executive director for security of “Energoatom” Dmytro Basov (“Tenor”) and four more “employees” of the so-called “back office for money laundering”: among them Oleksandr Zukerman (“Sugarman”), Ihor Fursenko (“Ryoshik”), Lesya Ustymenko and Lyudmila Zorina. Later, the former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Unity Oleksiy Chernyshov was also informed about the suspicion of illegal enrichment.
Against the background of this investigation, the government approved an action plan for updating the composition of supervisory boards and executive bodies of economic entities of the fuel and energy complex. In particular, the Energoatom company plans to form a new supervisory board.
