At the meeting with AEG officials, Peševski, deputy economy minister Hristijan Delev, and CEO of ELEM (Macedonian Power Plants) Dejan Boškovski presented the reforms implemented with regard to business climate and tax policy as well as the country’s strategic energy and investment projects.
AEG Industrial Engineering specializes in the production of power sources, power components and control and distribution of electricity. The company is part of AEG Group (Allgemeine Elektrizitäts-Gesellschaft), which began operations in 1887 in Berlin. The group was incorporated in Electrolux Group in 2004.
