Acting Head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) Ivan Bakanov has informed Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman about the threat to state security as a result of unpreparedness of Ukraine’s energy sector for the full-scale introduction of the new model of the electricity market in Ukraine according to the law on the electricity market.
A source in the government told Interfax-Ukraine the corresponding letter was received on May 29.
“The information the SBU has points to the industry’s unpreparedness to launch the energy market on July 1, therefore the timely start of the reform could lead to crisis processes in the industry, disruption of the stable and reliable functioning of the united energy system, as well as a significant damage to the interests of consumers and the state,” the document says.
