The dismissal of Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, the head of NPC Ukrenergo, is surprising, as his company is one of the few in Ukraine that has built-in protection of facilities and a stock of equipment for the restoration of energy infrastructure. This was stated by the director of the Center for Energy Research, Oleksandr Kharchenko, UNN reports.
The decision to dismiss Kudrytskyi (Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, head of Ukrenergo - ed.) is frankly surprising, because they are firing a person whose company is basically the only one among Ukrainian energy companies that has built up protection for its facilities and has a stock of equipment to restore facilities. The decision is strange and illogical from the point of view of common sense, especially against the backdrop of the changes in communication with international issues
The Director of the Center for Energy Studies emphasizes that the Supervisory Board of NPC Ukrenergo, which is supposed to change the company's management, is not fully formed and lacks one of the independent members, which is an extremely important parameter.
It doesn't matter how she voted, because if there had been one more independent member of this Supervisory Board, the discussion would have been different. Obviously, the Supervisory Board members were under a lot of pressure
He emphasizes that this is “a super bad example of the relationship between the Ukrainian government and bureaucracy, with Western principles of corporate governance of state-owned companies,” because such emotional and volitional decisions are not acceptable to them.
According to him, Elk has no public argumentation for Kudrytsky's dismissal and no understanding of what caused the change. In his opinion, such a decision would weaken the trust of Western partners who provided funds for the restoration of Ukraine's energy sector.
