Zelenskyy Overhauls Energy Sector Amid Corruption Concerns
In an effort to revitalize the energy sector, Ukraine has initiated a comprehensive overhaul of management and oversight at key state-owned energy companies. President Zelenskyy, along with the Prime Minister and Economy Minister, outlined a plan combining financial audits with governance changes, including the immediate appointment of new supervisory boards at Energoatom, Ukrhydroenergo, and the Gas Transmission System Operator. A competition to renew the Naftogaz supervisory board will be launched, with the new composition taking effect in January 2026. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of transparency and integrity, directing officials to collaborate with law enforcement and anti-corruption bodies throughout the process to address any discovered issues.
