“Ukrenergo is obliged to report the NERCEP of any changes that may affect its separation and independence, but the company has not done it”, – WRITE: www.radiosvoboda.org
The commission noted that Ukrenergo is obliged to report the NERCEP of any changes that may affect its separation and independence, but the company has not done it.
“The Supervisory Board of Ukrenergo was obliged to approve changes in the management warehouse with a delaying condition and to inform the regulator in advance about their grounds. However, these requirements of the legislation of Ukraine and EU norms were not fulfilled. Sudden personnel decisions on the chairman and members of the board of NEC “Ukrenergo” look as a violation of the rules of certification, which requires additional study, ”the statement said.
The NERCEP believes that such a development will jeopardize the trust of international partners and pose the risk of importing electricity on the eve of the heating season.
On September 26, the Supervisory Board of Ukrenergo released Vitaliy Zaichenko from the post of chairman of the board and appointed Alexei Brecht temporarily acting. At the same time, all members of the board were also released, which, according to the NERCEP, created a dangerous management vacuum in the company and questioned its ability to ensure effective management of the transfer system.
According to the media, the decision to dismiss Ukrenergo chairman was made in response to the results of the inspection by the National Securities and Stock Market (NCSSMC). The check showed that two members of the board – Ivan Yuryk and Oleg Pavlenko – were appointed in the summer. These violations were not eliminated in time, so the Supervisory Board decided to release not only the board members, but also Zaichenko, to whom they “lost confidence.”
