We investigate the sample of 16 the youngest radio galaxies with measured kinematic ages and available X-ray data from high-resolution Chandra or XMM-Newton observations. We characterize the accretion properties and derive the jet kinetic luminosities for our sources. We found high accretion rates (>1% Eddington) and very high jet production efficiency for all the sources from our sample.This, along with the fact that the analyzed objects seem over-luminous in radio on the fundamental plane for the black hole activity, implies also that the radiative efficiency of the compact lobes is much higher than in the case of the evolved radio galaxies.
