Volodymyr Kudrytskyi is the chairman of the Board of PJSC "National Power Company Ukrenergo", the operator of the Ukrainian electricity transmission system.
[3] After his appointment as chairman of the management board of Ukrenergo, Kudrytskyi continued to pursue the company's key strategic goal – the integration of Ukraine's power system into ENTSO-E.[10] Credit financing attracted by the Kudrytskyi administration enabled Ukrenergo to earn a profit of 141 million hryvnias in 2021 and 2 billion hryvnias in the first quarter of 2022.
As soon as Volodymyr Kudrytskyi was appointed chairman of the board of Ukrenergo, the conflict was resolved, and there were no more negative statements from Kolomoyskyi regarding the company's management.
Auditors found that the actions of Ukrenergo employees led to the untimely cessation of electricity supply to United Energy, resulting in non-payment of debt, and due to non-fulfillment of contract terms and court claims, the state operator paid fines and court fees amounting to 285 million hryvnias.
[15][16] According to an investigation by journalist Serhiy Ivanov, at the beginning of the invasion, United Energy, owned by businessman Ihor Kolomoyskyi's partner Mykhailo Kiperman, received electricity from Ukrenergo worth over 1.4 billion hryvnias, resold it on the market, and did not settle accounts with the state operator.
Two top managers of Ukrenergo, who were directly responsible for the contract with United Energy, went abroad on business trips and did not return.
[18] The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) opened a criminal case due to the state's loss of 1.4 billion hryvnias.
[19] The Prosecutor General's Office recognized the financial institution as the victim, and the Center for Judicial Expertise and Expert Research confirmed the legality of the bank's chairman's actions.
The main recipients of budget funds were the State Agency for Restoration and Development of Infrastructure of Ukraine, overseen by former Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov, and Ukrenergo under the leadership of Volodymyr Kudrytskyi.
According to the publication Nashi Hroshi, between August 14 and September 4, 2023, Ukrenergo concluded a series of agreements worth 2.8 billion hryvnias.
In response to a media inquiry, Ukrenergo stated that the law does not require specifying salaries individually, so the income of Volodymyr Kudrytskyi was not disclosed separately.
During the martial law period, Kudrytskyi traveled abroad 11 times, visiting Poland, Belgium, Switzerland, and the USA.
