Energy Club has sent an official letter to Andriy Gerus, Head of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Committee on Energy, Housing and Communal Services, and Dmytro Natalukha, Head of the Committee on Economic Development. The purpose of the appeal is to initiate committee hearings to clarify the effectiveness of the implementation of the legislative intent of clause 2, part 5, Article 41 of the Law of Ukraine “On Public Procurement”. As noted in the letter, this issue is critical for the energy procurement sector, requires the alignment of a national position, and carries potential European integration risks.
Energy Club recalls that the seriousness of the problem has been recognized at the highest judicial level: the Supreme Court, in case No. 920/19/24, concluded that it contains an “exceptional legal problem”. The case was transferred to the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court to ensure the development of law and the formation of unified law application practice.
The urgency of the appeal to the committees is intensified by the fact that the meeting of the Grand Chamber, which was scheduled for November 5, 2025, has been postponed indefinitely. Given this pause and the need for a prompt resolution of the problem, Energy Club requests that this issue be included on the agenda of the committee meeting scheduled for November 6, 2025, as an addendum to the Club’s previous letter dated August 18, 2025.
The Club emphasizes that, according to the Law “On Committees of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine,” committees have the right to hold hearings to ascertain the effectiveness of the implementation of adopted laws and may hold them at a joint meeting if the issue falls within the competence of several committees.
