In July 2007, Kirkilas signed the protocol assigning the members of newly formed governmental work group to assist the energy company „Lietuvos energija“ in negotiating and consulting with potential foreign partners for a new Ignalina nuclear power plant project.
A public turmoil followed after the name of Darius Jurgelevičius occurred in the list of the work group.
After the so-called State Security Departament scandal in 2006, when a senior officer Vytautas Pociūnas died under controversial circumstances in a hotel in Belarus, the witnesses described Darius Jurgelevičius as a middleman transmitting then Lithuanian Foreign Ministry's clerk Albinas Januška's influence to State Security Departament.
Albinas Januška currently works as G. Kirkilas's advisor.

In July 2007, before handing his powers to his successors, Vidmantas Jankauskas the chairman of the State Price and Energy Control Commission spoke about the ties between gas companies and the Prime Minister Kirkilas, saying: "a gas company „Lietuvos dujos“ is privately lobbying G. Kirkilas and the second Lithuanian monopolist gas company Dujotekana – Ministry of Economics.
CEO of Lietuvos dujos, Viktoras Valentukevičius, meets Kirkilas privately to play tennis".

In October 2014, Fair Observer featured an interview with Kirkilas where he spoke on his pro-nuclear energy stance.
