Lukoil created an energy directorate within the central office, which will develop promising electric power projects, including RES, and improve the company's existing energy infrastructure. The directorate will be headed by Vasily Zubakin, former head of the Department for the Coordination of Power Supply and Operations. At the same time, Vice President for Energy Denis Dolgov left the company. Therefore, Vadim Vorobiev, Lukoil's first executive vice president, will directly supervise the activities of the new unit.
