The shortlist of candidates for the management of the Oltenia Energy Complex (CE Oltenia) will also be completed by May 15, says a government document.
The list for Hidroelectrica, Oltchim and Romarm will be drafted by headhunting firm Egon Zehnder, while a recruitment firm for Electrica Furnizare and CE Oltenia will be selected soon.
CE Oltenia’s creation has only recently been authorized by the competition watchdog, at the end of February. The company will be formed through the merger of the Craiova, Rovinari and Turceni energy complexes, plus coal company SNLO. The initial plan was for only SNLO, out of these four companies, to have private management, as per the agreement between the Government and International Monetary Fund (IMF). As a result of the merger and CE Oltenia being on the new list, the future private manager will also lead the three energy complexes, in addition to SNLO.
The other companies on the list agreed upon with the IMF are: postal operator Posta Romana, airline Tarom, railway companies Electrificare CFR, CFR SA, CFR Calatori, nuclear power producer Nuclearelectrica, gas transporter Transgaz, power grid operator Transelectrica, natural gas producer Romgaz and the Constanta sea port administration.
