In February, Hahaianu was dismissed from the position of general manager of Transelectrica, at the request of then Premier, Mihai Razvan Ungureanu, for communication. Octavian Lohan was named at the helm of the company.
A month before, Adrian Victor Vevera–a personal advisor of former Prime Minister Emil Boc–had replaced Hahaianu as Board Chairman, but the latter remained stayed in the company’s board. Local media criticized Vevera’s appointem as no information showing his abilities in the energy sector were made public. After four days, Vevera resigned from the chairman position, but stayed on in the board.
In a board meeting Friday, Transelectrica appointed two interim board members: OPSPI’s head Remus Dumitru Vulpescu, and Dumitru Pirvulescu.
