The activity optimization processes remain a priority for us in the near future, both in the distribution segment and in the supply area, as well as the modernization of the distribution infrastructure”, she said, according to Electrica’s press release.

Popescu is graduate of the Faculty of Power Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest. Since 2007, Popescu has worked in the private sector, holding senior positions in E.ON Romania Group and OMV Group.

Between December 2015 and February 2017, Popescu held the position of State Secretary at the Ministry of Energy, during which time she was also a member of the Board of Directors of Electrica.
