According to Kovalchuk, he was in charge of the backbone operator of Ukraine's power grids for over four years, transforming it from a "typical, yet specialized, Ukrainian state-owned enterprise into a modern company, which should soon enter the large family of European transmission system operators."

The company's network includes eight regional power systems, covering the entire territory of Ukraine and employing over 8,000.
Every year, Ukrenergo's trunk power grids transmit over 110 billion kWh of electricity.
