Slovenia’s state power utility Holding Slovenske Elektrarne (HSE) has appointed new top managers at two of its subsidiaries – Termoelektrarna Šoštanj, which operates the Šoštanj thermal power plant (TEŠ), and Premogovnik Velenje, the operator of the Velenje coal mine, according to two separate press releases on the company’s website.

HSE named Viktor Vračar as director general of the company operating the TEŠ power plant, and Mitja Tašler as the company’s director. Both were appointed for a four-year term, starting on September 1, according to HSE.

He holds a PhD in business management and organization and a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering.
