KIEV, September 24 (RIA Novosti) – Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has removed National Commission for State Energy Regulation chairman Serhiy Titenko from office, the president's website said Wednesday.
"To remove Serhiy Titenko from the post of the Chairman of the National Commission for State Energy Regulation," the document published on the website said.
Currently, nuclear power plants generate about 47 percent of Ukraine’s electric power, the rest is produced by thermal power stations by burning gas and coal, as well as by hydroelectric power stations and green power.
Gas shortages and a halt in work at 80 percent of Donbas mines have led to deficit of energy and, as a consequence, electricity.
