Energy and Coal Industry Minister Volodymyr Demchyshyn stated in an interview with RBC-Ukraine that he supports the privatization of NNEGC Energoatom.
In his opinion, Energoatom's value could be around 30 billion. To begin with, it would be possible to sell 10 to 50% of the state-owned enterprise.
Demchishin stated that Energoatom as an enterprise could be of interest to such giants as the German RWE and E.ON and the French AREVA or Energy de France (EDF).
The Minister of Energy and Coal Industry believes that the current head of Energoatom, Yuriy Nedashkovsky, is a professional, but Demchyshyn noted that there are more progressive people in the world who could manage the company more effectively.
We previously reported that Minister Demchyshyn was already planning to cut half the workforce at NNEGC Energoatom. However, experts believe the current head of the Ministry of Energy and Coal Industry is completely incompetent, as he lacks a relevant education and is a mere financier. Analysts also emphasize that Mr. Demchyshyn likely forgot that in order to raise the issue of privatizing a strategically important nuclear power generating company, amendments to the Ukrainian Constitution are required.
