Background:
In early December 2021, the Ministry of Energy approved the entire composition of the company's Supervisory Board. The members of the Supervisory Board are Dejan Ostojić, Peder Andreasen, Daniel Dobbeni and Roman Pionkovskyi, as independent members, and Yurii Tokarskyi, Mykhailo Ilnytskyi and Yurii Boiko as representatives of the state.
In April 2022, the Ministry of Energy terminated the powers of the independent member of the Supervisory Board, Dejan Ostojić, due to his resignation. Prior to that, on 6 January 2022, the Ministry of Energy terminated the powers of Supervisory Board member Mykhailo Ilnytskyi and appointed Oleksandr Baraniuk instead. Ilnytskyi was appointed the head of Ukrainian Distribution Networks, a joint-stock company established to manage the state's corporate rights in the regional power distribution companies.
