Evgeny Fedorov, who has headed Eurosibenergo OJSC since 2010 (combines the energy assets of Oleg Deripaska's En+ group), left the company, Eurosibenergo reported on Monday. The contract with the top manager expired on August 30, the top manager left his post of his own free will, the company notes. First Deputy General Director - Financial Director Vyacheslav Solomin was appointed acting general director of Eurosibenergo.

As Reuters reports, citing a source in the company, a new head of Eurosibenergo is planned to be elected within a month. Kommersant’s sources do not rule out that the company will be headed by Mr. Solomin on a permanent basis, but this is not the only option. It is unknown whether Mr. Fedorov will remain in the En+ structures, but, according to Kommersant’s interlocutors, he will most likely leave the group.

Let us recall that in June the top manager had already resigned from the post of head of OAO Irkutskenergo (part of Eurosibenergo), which he had held since 2010, and Oleg Prichko, who had worked there for more than 18 years and previously held the position of Deputy General Director for Energy Sales. At the same time, Evgeny Fedorov remained the general director of Eurosibenergo, although Kommersant sources close to the company then assured that this was a temporary situation that was supposed to last “two to three months.”

Before joining Eurosibenergo, Evgeny Fedorov held various positions at En+ for more than ten years. Thus, since 2006, he led the joint project of Rusal and the state-owned RusHydro for the construction of the Boguchanskaya hydroelectric power station and the Boguchansky aluminum smelter. Since March 2008, he oversaw Rusal's energy projects, and since January 2009, also the engineering and construction division. In the spring of 2010, he took the post of executive director of Irkutskenergo, and in the summer of the same year he headed this company. At Eurosibenergo, Mr. Fedorov was responsible for operational management and implementation of its development strategy.
