A foreign investor is sought for the sale next year of Centrenergo

A foreign investor is sought for the sale next year of Centrenergo, the nation’s largest coal-fired electricity producer, Prime Minister Honcharuk told the Economic Forum. State-controlled Centrenergo draws on three plants – one in Kyiv, one in Kharkiv and one Donetsk – to produce 7,600 mw of power. “Centrenergo is the top priority for privatization. And I want this company to be privatized by an external, real player. And the government will do everything for a strong player to come here.” Last month, Dmytro Sennichenko, the new head of the State Property Fund, said a new court decision has cleared the way for the sale of the massive power company.
