In July 2024, the management of the state-owned NEC Ukrenergo received 2.2 million hryvnias in wages. This is 30% or 500 thousand hryvnias more than in June. Such figures are indicated in a report on the company's official website, but the reasons for such a significant increase in wages remain unknown.
It is interesting that this "money boom" took place precisely in July, when Ukraine faced the most severe power outage schedules. People across the country were forced to spend 14-16 hours a day without electricity, but it seems that this only added motivation to the top management of NEC "Ukrenergo". After all, with such a gap in the distribution of resources, it can be understood that the company's management at this time did not waste time in vain and made every effort for the "bright future" of its bank account.
According to Ukrenergo, for the first seven months of 2024, the salary of the company's management reached almost 22 million hryvnias. This means that each of the five members of the board - Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, Oleksiy Brecht, Serhiy Galagan, Oleg Skrypnyk and Andriy Nemyrovskyi - received an average of 4.4 million hryvnias during this period.
Well, while ordinary citizens sat in the dark, the leadership of Ukrenergo apparently worked in "brighter" conditions. However, the question remains: why, against the background of such serious problems with electricity supply and increasing social tension, the salary of the company's managers only increased? And isn't it time to ask these questions not only to the management of NEC "Ukrenergo", but also to everyone who is responsible for the functioning of the energy system of Ukraine?
