The resignation was sent to the Economy Minister, to the company and its board, the government said Tuesday.
Vevera was named chairman Friday, after the company’s chief executive Horia Hahaianu was dismissed from the position, following an Economy Minister decision. In July 2011, minister Ion Ariton decided that the positions of chairman of the board and of general managers in the companies managed by the ministry cannot be held by the same person.
The Economy Ministry owns almost 74% in Transelectrica.
Vevera’s appointment was criticized by the Romanian media, as no information regarding his competences in the energy field were provided.
Vevera will remain member in Transelectrica’s board, the company said in a statement later Tuesday.
Transelectrica closed down 3.24% at RON17.9 a share in Bucharest.
