The Supervisory Board of NEC Ukrenergo has elected its chief dispatcher and board member Vitaliy Zaychenko as chairman of the board, according to Andriy Gerus, head of the Verkhovna Rada’s energy committee.
“Vitaliy Zaychenko has become the chairman of the board of Ukrenergo,” Gerus told the Energorforma internet portal on Monday.
The company has not yet officially announced the results of the Supervisory Board meeting, which was scheduled for Monday.
As reported, on June 13, the Ministry of Energy, as the sole shareholder of the company, made new amendments to the charter of NEC Ukrenergo. They allow for the appointment of the chairman of the company’s board of directors in several attempts, the last of which, the third, by a simple majority of the members of the supervisory board, and the first two by a qualified majority, i.e., at least five votes (there are seven members of the supervisory board, four of whom are independent). If the third attempt is also unsuccessful, the Supervisory Board shall decide to announce a new competition for the position of chairman of the management board. It must take place within 90 calendar days of the date of such decision.
The shortlist of candidates for the position of chairman of the board of Ukrenergo, based on the results of the competition announced on February 5, 2025, includes the acting head of the company, Alexei Brecht, its chief dispatcher and member of the board, Vitaly Zaychenko, and another representative of the company, Ivan Yurik, who deals with Eurobond issues.
