Centrenergo should be openly privatized by 'non-Ukrainian' company – Yatseniuk
Power generation company PJSC Centrenergo should be openly privatized by a 'non-Ukrainian' company, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk has said.
"As for Centrenergo – guys, wrap it up with those pork-barrels! <...> Centrenergo should be privatized. I believe a non-Ukrainian company should become its owner. I have personally held talks in France and the United States – there is interest [in it], large interest," he said during an Energy and Coal Industry Ministry board meeting on Tuesday.
Yatseniuk said he considered the statements made by the Energy and Coal Industry Ministry, that it needs Centrenergo to regulate the market, to be incompetent.
"I am confident that a delay in the privatization [of Centrenergo] could be explained only by the struggle for flows [of capital]," he added.
