Closed competitions and “insiders” as candidates: how minister Sobolev is forming a new vertical in energy companies
According to market participants, contests for supervisory boards of state energy companies are held in a non-transparent way: interviews are non-public, and not all candidates were invited.
Sources in the government claim that Minister of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture Oleksiy Sobolev is pushing to the supervisory boards Maksym Nefyodov, Illia Mykhailov, Nadiia Vasylieva, and Oleksandr Libanov.
In the market people believe this is not just about personnel decisions, but about an attempt to close control over financial flows of the strategic sector to a circle of loyal people. In this context, Timofiy Mylovanov and former head of FGIOO Dmytro Sennichenko are also mentioned, with whom some members of this group had working and personal connections.
If such appointments take place, the independence of supervisory boards of state energy companies risks becoming purely formal.
