and this is simply a desire to obviously control the operational activities of the company, attempts at such control began back in the 21st year, to control the money, yes, to control the money, to control some, i don't know, personnel appointments in the middle of the company, and from the 21st year they started active attempts there to offer me very good people for various positions in the management of the company, which i rejected, were attempts to change the management. companies outside the supervisory board in the 21st year , already during the invasion and in the midst of the invasion, there were attempts to change the board once again, there were attempts to dictate, for example, the sequence of payment of debts on the electricity market, well, that is, there were quite active attempts to interfere in our activities, and so on. with

documents, with some official letters, orders, and so on, and we never once succumbed to these attempts, they stopped at some point, obviously, when people realized that there was no point in talking to us in such a language, but numerous inspections, first a ministerial audit, then the state audit service conducted an audit with the participation of representatives ministries, then numerous some... law enforcement investigations, media, by the way, attacks too, and they didn't start before my dismissal or after my dismissal, they started many months ago, i will remind you that the same lies were published about my a salary of 2 million hryvnias, and in my opinion, it was trukha’s telegram channel that actively dispersed this fake, well, and some other things there, they counted how many air conditioners there are in my house, well, they published some kind of delusion, but... obviously, it was such an

art -preparation, and for me absolutely it is obvious that there were more or less intense attempts to finally get this control over the company, but now it is a paradoxical situation, because due to the rather active reaction of civil society, including our western partners, who entrusted ukrenergo with 1.5 billion euros funding during the invasion, this is more than the ministry and others have raised. energy companies together, after this reaction the process stopped, i.e. i was fired, my deputy was appointed by the supervisory board, bindings, yes oleksiy brecht, he is our technical director, and in fact now there is such a crossroads, that is, either the normal management system of the company will be restored, when the supervisory board is created, it should have...

independent people who supervise the company's activities without any regard for any whims i don't know whose word it is, it's ukrainian, it's just not from ukrainian, it's not from ukrainian realities , that's why it sounds so smotryachy and not from ukrainian realities, but everything melts. what is forever, we must forever forget it is in this country, there are civilized institutions, in that the institution of observers is, conditionally , european, or, if you like, civilized institutions of civilized education, if we go there, then we must build such institutions, and of course we must not to forget that state-owned companies are the property of the public, the property of the people, they are not the property of...officials appointed by someone, and

sometimes the officials forget this and begin to identify themselves, as if with the owner of the state-owned company, and this is precisely why supervisors are needed board to insulate the company from such a negative possible influence, in the case of ukrenergo, the supervisory board performed this function for several years, and i really hope that after the situation. with my dismissal, the new supervisory board that has already been created will be restored, and the team that remained at ukrenergo, which has maintained the power system in extremely difficult conditions for three winters, was united with the european nervous system, and a lot was done to strengthen the protection that this the team will be allowed to work quietly, well, that is, what a time it is is it interesting now? again, we have to

understand that there are acting responsibilities, oleksii brecht, whom you know, whom you mentioned, and the work continues, i understand that the train is moving. further along the same same track without turning anywhere, what is the time for there to be an understanding, this person will begin to perform his duties without this prefix wo, without this prefix, or will they still find some other person, or this search for your information continues, here it is important to understand that a specialist will come, but with regard to mr. brecht, it is clear, what is the middle ground there he has 25 years of experience in the energy sector, and there are no questions here. one of the most experienced, most qualified energy specialists in this country in general. it is very difficult for me to even imagine someone who could surpass oleksiy with the level of competence, i have worked with him for many years side by side, i can say this absolutely for sure. if we imagined that you and i were in

norway, how would the process go? a supervisory board should be created, consisting of seven members, currently there are not two. four of which are independent, now there are not three at all, but ugh, four independent members should be elected to this supervisory board, after that the supervisory board will conduct an open, public, transparent competition for the company's head, not based on the criterion of his personal loyalty to someone, not according to the criterion of whether he is there somewhere, you know, with whom he drank vodka, or who he is friends with, or who is his relative, and according to the criteria of professionalism. right values ​​and his, so to speak, or her ability to actually lead the company precisely in this moment in which it is, and we are, let me remind you, on the eve of a difficult winter, and according to the results of this competition , a manager, a new head

of the company, will be chosen, whether it will be oleksiy or not, whether oleksiy will even apply for this competition or not will be, these are questions that can be asked only after this new one is created. independent supervisory board, and that's how i was elected as a leader in 2020, i was elected at a competition where 40 or 50 people participated, and there was a whole process that lasted several months, and i won this competition and was appointed exactly in august of the 20th year, that is, four years ago, this is exactly the kind of competition that should be held this time, have you had cases when the president called you on a mobile phone, not on... and the phone is like this it should be official or not , there is an official phone, but my communication with the president, as a rule, took place within the framework of some meetings, either on-site, or in the office of the president, or within the framework of rate meetings or other

formats, but not through a mobile phone and not through the office phone of special communications, well, me generally honestly. saying, i doubt that these special forces are being used so actively at the moment because i mentioned the president, and he said words that are, in principle, correct, we need to move, build, increase, spread, as they say, strengthen this energy security, the president said that gigawatts of gas-fired power generation will be built next to each other. and then there was a statement, well, it’s a plan from the president, a mandate, and there are people who have to implement it, then there was a statement from the minister of energy, he said that we already have 400 mw, and you said in the interview that we have since then plus 60 megawatts, that is, we understand the difference, but

realistically, how much is 460, and what needs to be done in order for this to be the president's order for one gigawatt. you said that we lost half of what was last winter, well, at least plus one, why is it not done, or what is needed to do it? well, first of all, how much new decentralized generation has actually been built, not generators near ticket shops, nor ecoflos that ukrainians bought, to which ministry of energy has nothing to do with, namely the new generation that will work in the power system up to, i emphasize up to 60. not even 60, but up to 60 megawatts, and what is it to simply understate that 60 megawatts? i will explain, aa , as i said, we lost 9 gw, ugh, that is, 900 mw, new generation has been put into operation today, connected to the power system,

up to 60 mw has been put into operation, uh, and somewhere around half of it is two such small ones power plants, so to speak. and one of them was connected, these are small, of low power, and one of them connected to the network since a year and a half, in general, that is, at such a pace, eh... if we continue in this spirit, then we will need, i don’t know, a decade to replace the generation destroyed by russian missiles, which was lost in this year, but we also lost generation in the 22nd and 23rd years as well, well, that is, it is also grease, and it is coal-fired thermal power plants, it is gas-fired thermal power plants, mainly these are these types of plants, respectively, what it is necessary to do, it is necessary to stop trying in a centralized way by forces

states to build decentralized generation, what is decentralized generation, this is when instead of one coal-fired power station with a capacity of 1000 megawatts , you have 100 small power plants with a capacity of 10, conditionally, i say conditionally now, this means decentralization, that is the same principle that is used our soldiers on the battlefield . dispersion, no one tries to gather 100 tanks, 200 armored fighting vehicles and 4 thousand people in one place, on one parking lot, right? likewise in energy, energy is under fire from the enemy, under fire of the enemy, accordingly it must be dispersed, er, in order to do this, it is necessary to attract private capital, not to try to build hundreds of small ones with the help of state-owned companies. power plants, giving them a simple command: you need to build 100 mw, you need to build 300, you need to build 200, go and

do it, and how you will do it, no one is interested, it is necessary to create conditions for private capital to start massively investing in new ukrainian generation, this is definitely a task facing the ministry of energy, as a ministry specialized in this sphere, and it is precisely in... strictly speaking, it is responsible for the score on the scoreboard. on december 31, 2024, we will see this score on the scoreboard, for now, this score is not very impressive, and what worries me the most is an obvious attempt to embellish reality from the rostrum of the parliament or in public space, talking about hundreds of megawatts new generation, there are no hundreds of megawatts of new decentralized generation. as far as i understand, they are trying to add to this figure the restoration of broken thermal power plants

in the soviet era, some generators, diesel generators, which are installed in the regions at boiler houses, at small pumping stations, but this is not generation, these are power sources after the outages began, they do not work on the power system, well, in daily mode, that is why we say only about those power plants that... in fact will replace these and those coal-fired power plants and thermal power plants that were destroyed by the enemy, and unfortunately, we have several tens of mega power plants, what should these power plants work on? on different types of fuel, on gas, yes, of course, this is such a traditional fuel for modern heat generation, and i just want to ask right away, i heard a statement in the government, in my opinion it was a whip, but i'm afraid to lie, i just remembered that... this year we plan to pass on gas of own production, i am simply leading to the point that if you build

dozens of power plants, then buy gas, again the price of this gas and all this will then be included in the price when a private investor will do it, he already knows what the price of electricity today on the wholesale market, not for the population, it has nothing to do with tariffs for the population, it has to do with prices for businesses, but today there is a price for business, there is a price for gas, and accordingly. but today, by burning gas in a modern gas turbine, a gas piston power plant, you can sell electricity from this gas at a profit, yes, and private business, by the way, is very actively ready to invest in these things, and we at ukrenergo have been engaged in creating conditions for private business in recent months, for private business to invest in the new ukrainian generation, in particular, what we did with the energy regulator from the ncp, the liberalization of prices on this wholesale market for business and

the long-term contracts that ukrenergo concludes with investors for 5 years, buying the service from these power plants from the 25th to the 30th year, thus the investor clearly understands how to pay off his project, he has a solid contract with a large state company with an energy operator, and he can bring this contract to the bank, take a loan and pay. get a profit on your investment, pay off the loan and get corresponding profit. such contracts have now been concluded for 600 megawatts. uh, according to the results, i will not ask about jobs, because again we will not give companies one year, this is a realistic deadline, one year for the deployment of new electricity production systems, as well as energy storage systems, these are battery systems, the so-called battery storage, which are also very necessary for the energy system for balancing, but only two auctions

by ukrenergo for these services yielded 600 mw of those willing . well, we can still see it in the dissector the results are much more modest, and i think that the bet should still be placed on private business, because how much to build has been known for a long time, back in the 23rd year at the beginning we talked about the need to build decentralized generation, about this before things were said a lot in the press, but then a different vision of development was brought to the london conference on recovery. of energy, some kind of gigantomania, where it was necessary to build, invest 400 billion euros of investments, build 300 gw of new capacities, well, western investors looked at it, they said, i'm sorry, these plans are unrealistic, you are talking about some space, fantasies, we are business people, and we invest money in real projects, not in someone's dreams, there are dreams and so on, and we lost

time, in any case, we have now we... in conclusion, as they say, we will get as close as possible to people who will either be warm or cold this winter, we need to prepare here, i understand that in any case we are going through this winter, there will be some plus or minus tens or hundreds of megawatts with what is now, here you already said about this year, i.e it is clear that we will restore traditions on the traditional generation, then i will prove to you that as you advise people, it is so simple to prepare, and what to buy at home. i believe that if there is no sharp increase in the intensity of russian shelling, that is, we cannot say that they will not be there at all, but it is important that there will be no sharp increase in intensity, that they will not be three or five times greater and more frequent , and we will have such

a situation that in the warm periods of winter it is conditionally +2, there, well, up to minus 5, you said somewhere like this, there will be either minimal outages, or there will be none absolutely in the cold periods of winter -5 -7, especially -10, minus 15, the consumption will increase so much that it will not be physically possible to collect enough generation to cover it, and then there may be blackouts, of what scale they will be, well, this is guessing at a coffee shop denser, but we can say that the deficit may be similar to some kind of summer de ugh, that is, it is july or august, it depends a lot, again how many power plants will be restored, what will be the import of electricity, because in july we also did not use imports , on unfortunately, at full capacity, we did not import everything that we could have imported, unfortunately, because of the price, but that is also a question for the leaders of the industry, how to ensure

the complete filling of imports in winter, and i want to say by the way that and to remind that... the poles, the polish prime minister, in particular, proposed to attract polish power plants to work in ukraine in the winter, and it seems to me that we need to work very hard on this project in order to get a few hundred megawatts the use of that imported capacity, which, which there is ukrenergo provides, but which, unfortunately, is not used, we have less than a minute, i cannot but ask this question. do you already have an understanding of what you will do later in life? i have approximately these for private business, i don’t know, to write a book, to go traveling there, to support the armed forces of ukraine, as you like, i can say for sure that i will be in ukraine, we were engaged in supporting the armed forces very objectively at ukrenergo, and we have supported them for more than 350

million there over the past year and a half, and of course by virtue of our own a lot more. modest opportunities i will also do this, but i would like to work in one or more of the following areas, this is investment attraction, this is european integration, because in fact, in 2022, we brought ukrenergo to the electric power eu, and i believe that this experience can be replicated and for the whole country, that is the transformation of our energy system, that is the development of this new one. it will essentially mean a new ukrainian energy system, cheaper, cleaner, more resistant to russian attacks, in what format? i will realize myself in these three directions, time will tell, i think, the following weeks, months, but for sure i would like to work

in these areas, and to date i do not see a big request for this from the public sector, so for now i will be out of it, thank you very much, many questions, maybe not the last . or in fact there is a lot to talk about, it is a very interesting, important topic, in principle, to explain, clarify, point out the problems, and most importantly, the ways of overcoming them and solving them. volodymyr kudrytskyi was with us, he is the ex-head of a private company, the national energy company ukrenergo was with us in the 20-24 years, and you remain a telemasso, it will be interesting from now on. september discounts on lactial, 20% in
