Leadership changes at Romania’s Nuclearelectrica

Overview

Leadership changes have emerged within Romania’s energy sector, specifically at the state-controlled nuclear power producer Nuclearelectrica. Initially, reports indicated that General Director Cosmin Ghiță resigned following a period where the Cernavodă plant reactors were offline due to low Danube water levels.

Subsequent details clarified that Ghiță’s resignation, effective October 2, 2026, follows a government control body report regarding shortcomings in the 462 MW Doicești small modular reactor (SMR) project. The report identified a 20-month delay and significant expenditures on land acquisition and studies for the project, which is a joint venture between Nuclearelectrica and Nova Power&Gas. While Nuclearelectrica rejected the findings, claiming all decisions were made legally, Mihai Laurențiu Gioară is set to assume the role of acting CEO on October 3.
