Although the government plans on $600 million in revenue from large privatizations in 2019, analysts say it will be hard in a year with two elections to privatize large, socially sensitive state companies like Centrenergo. One of Ukraine’s leading electricity producers, Centrenergo supplies electricity to Kyiv, Kharkiv and Donetsk regions. Fired by coal or natural gas, Centrenergo’s three thermal power plants – Vuhlehirska, Zmiivska and Trypilska – have a design capacity of 7,665 MW – 14% of Ukraine’s generating capacity.
