“Energoatom allocated UAH 16.154 billion for the PSO service in November, continuing to bear the key financial burden in the social tariff support system,” the company said on Wednesday.

In 2024, the company paid UAH 153.184 billion (including VAT) for the PSO service.

As reported, in 2024, Energoatom allocated 58% of its net income to pay for PSO. The company’s net profit for the past year amounted to UAH 1.3 billion.

In turn, NAEK’s pre-tax profit for January-September this year amounted to UAH 15 billion 716.90 million, and its net profit was UAH 12.83929 billion, while in the same period last year, the company had a loss of UAH 5.50344 billion and UAH 4.59346 billion, respectively.

As noted in the company’s report, which is available to the Interfax-Ukraine agency, Energoatom’s revenue for the first nine months of this year increased by 33.4% to UAH 173.87386 billion.

Energoatom canceled tenders worth UAH 650 mln after analyzing purchases

JSC NAEK Energoatom analyzed previously announced open tenders, as a result of which the company initiated the cancellation of five tenders for purchases totaling approximately UAH 650 million.

“In order to update the expected purchase price, taking into account the reduced payment terms, the cancellation of five tenders with a total value of approximately UAH 650 million has been initiated,” NAEK reported on Thursday.

Energoatom noted that the company continues to take measures to optimize and improve business processes in the field of procurement.

“In order to prevent a selective or subjective approach to determining the order of payments under concluded contracts, a corresponding system algorithm is being developed,” NAEK said.

The company has also set up a commission to analyze and prioritize production payments.

As previously reported by Energoatom, in order to strengthen cooperation with contractors and taking into account the economic situation in Ukraine, NAEK has significantly reduced the payment deadlines in draft contracts for the supply of goods, performance of work, and provision of services during the period of martial law.

“The updated approach to the formation of contractual terms for setting payment deadlines is related to a review of the financial burden on the company,” the company explained.

Energoatom asserts that for the stable operation of the company in conditions of increased challenges, it is also important to take into account the criticality, importance, and urgency of procurement and strict adherence to the principles of public procurement defined by Ukrainian legislation.

We expect the new composition of the Naftogaz supervisory board to be formed by January 20, 2026,” Sviridenko wrote on Telegram.

On August 15, 2025, the Cabinet of Ministers amended the charter of Energoatom, increasing the number of members of the supervisory board from five to seven.

The third independent member of the supervisory board, Timothy Stone, refused to sign the contract.

South Ukrainian City Council supported construction of complex for manufacture of fuel assemblies

The Yuzhnoukrainsk City Council unanimously supported the project of the National Nuclear Energy Generating Company Energoatom to build a technological complex for the manufacture of fuel assemblies, the company said, citing the decision.

The new production facility will be located in the Yuzhnoukrainsk community. According to Energoatom, the project is of strategic importance for Ukraine’s energy security and provides for:
strengthening the country’s energy independence;
reducing dependence on nuclear fuel imports;
stimulating economic development in the region and creating new jobs.
The company emphasized that the implementation of production will ensure the domestic manufacture of nuclear fuel components for Ukrainian reactors and will become part of the country’s long-term nuclear energy development strategy.
The launch of the complex is also expected to contribute to the development of Yuzhnoukrainsk’s infrastructure and increase the region’s investment attractiveness.
In July 2025, Energoatom and the American company Westinghouse signed a memorandum on the transfer of nuclear fuel production technology to Ukraine. The cost of the first stage of cooperation was estimated at approximately $20 million.
