Additional Information

The ex-head of RusHydro, Vasily Zubakin, who had an accident at the Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP a year ago, found a new job. According to Kommersant's information, from October 1, he will become Lukoil's Deputy Vice President for Energy. In terms of scale, the energy assets of the oil company and RusHydro are not comparable - 3.4 thousand and 25.4 thousand MW, respectively. But Mr. Zubakin's career at RusHydro was actually over after the accident and the change of the company's management, and for Lukoil, according to analysts, he will be a valuable acquisition.

Two sources in the energy industry told Kommersant yesterday that Vasily Zubakin, the former head of RusHydro, will become Lukoil's top manager on October 1. He will take the post of Deputy Vice President for Energy. RusHydro confirmed to Kommersant Zubakin's transfer to a new job, saying "that this is a working decision agreed with the management of the company and the industry." The company also noted that "until all corporate procedures are completed, Vasily Zubakin will remain the general director of RusHydro Management Company." This company was established to implement a number of RusHydro's investment projects. LUKOIL declined to comment.

Vasily Zubakin was introduced to the energy sector ten years ago by his former student Vyacheslav Sinyugin, who until January was Deputy Minister of Energy. Mr. Zubakin joined RAO "UES of Russia" in 2000, two years after Vyacheslav Sinyugin, who gave him the position of head of the capital management department, and himself became a member of the board. In 2002, Vasily Zubakin also joined the board.

In 2005, when JSC HydroOGK (later renamed RusHydro) was formed on the basis of RAO UES's hydro-generating assets, Vyacheslav Sinyugin headed the company, and Mr. Zubakin became his deputy. Immediately after the completion of the RAO UES reform, in the summer of 2008, Mr. Sinyugin left for the Ministry of Energy, and Vasily Zubakin was appointed acting. about. Chairman of the Board of RusHydro.

From the prefix "and. about." the top manager never got rid of it. In August 2009, an accident occurred at the Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP "RusHydro" that claimed the lives of 75 people. Then for the first time there were rumors that Vasily Zubakin would leave the company. "Seventy-five people died, and those responsible must be punished," Igor Sechin, the relevant Deputy Prime Minister, said on September 17, 2009. "Measures regarding leadership will be taken constantly - and they will be aimed at improving." Vasily Zubakin, Igor Sechin added, "must decide for himself who he wants to work with." But Mr. Zubakin remained in RusHydro, although he ceased to be the head of the company. At the end of November, the former chairman of the board of Inter RAO UES, Evgeny Dod, was appointed head of RusHydro. Vasily Zubakin retained his seat on the board, leaving it only in April 2010, but remaining the general director of RusHydro Management Company.

Former colleagues of Vasily Zubakin say that they worked with him "with pleasure". One of them notes that after the accident at the Sayano-Shushenskaya hydroelectric power station, the top manager "continued to work in a situation of enormous pressure from all sides and personally dealt with everything - from helping the relatives of the victims to restoring the station." "Very erudite, tactful and easily finds a common language with everyone," says one RusHydro employee. "He understands everything from turbines to listing shares."

At LUKOIL, Vasily Zubakin will be in charge of the electric power sector. It is based on the assets of TKG-8, acquired by the oil company during the reform of RAO UES. Also, LUKOIL has a number of its own power plants at the fields in Russia, and generating assets in Bulgaria, Romania, and Ukraine. The installed capacity of the stations is 3.2 thousand MW (RusHydro has 25.4 thousand MW).

Dmitry Terekhov from Finam believes that Vasily Zubakin will easily switch from hydropower to traditional, since "the management of the former RAO UES is good precisely because of its flexibility." Ekaterina Tripoten from Sovlink Investment Company adds that although RusHydro and LUKOIL are not comparable in scale, Vasily Zubakin's experience in a new position will come in handy, "starting from corporate transformations as part of the reform and ending with work in production company, one of the largest in the new structure of the industry." In addition, the analyst notes that Vasily Zubakin enjoys the confidence of investors, because he always "got in touch with them and was ready to communicate openly."
