Transelectrica announced shareholders and investors that Toni Tecau stepped down from the position of member and president of the Transelectrica Directorate starting 26 April 2017. The move comes days after an outage, one of the several that took place of late, left Valea Jiului mines without electricity.

One week ago, after a failure at the Hasdat power station, the Valea Jiului area was left without electricity for 11 minutes. The Hunedoara Energy Complex said in a press release that “any electricity cut can lead to the occurrence of unwanted events.” In reply, Transelectrica said it was the responsibility of every user of the electric network to set up alternative sources of electricity.

Moreover, Transelectrica said that the National Electroenergetic System does not represent an uninterrupted energy source. The system can see both planned and unplanned interruptions, Transelectrica argued, and “from a practical point of view, no electrical network can assure 100 percent of security.”

Previous outages were recorded on 8 November 2016, in Tulcea county. The same day, a power cut led to the activity of Unit 1 Cernavoda Nucear Power Plant being halted. On June 1 last year, Valcea and Arges counties were also affected by a power outage.

Toni Teau was appointed Transelectrica SA Executive General Director on 11 May 2014, following a decision of the Supervisory Board. Between June 2013- May 2014 he served as president of the Supervisory Board, while between April 2012 – April 2014, he was General Director and Administrator of Lasselsberger SA and Sanex SA Cluj Napoca. Between August 2006 – December 2011, he was financial manager with Realitatea Media.
