SN Nuclearelectrica SA – Continuity of Leadership
SN Nuclearelectrica SA is a strategic company for Romania’s energy security and a driver of economic development through the investment projects it undertakes; it is also a leading employer and a training center for specialists in nuclear energy.
A nuclear operator is founded on nuclear safety norms, standards, and principles, as well as a culture of nuclear safety and leadership, which form the critical framework for operations and development.
In the nuclear industry, leadership is a unique concept, serving as the essential element that shapes behaviors, attitudes, commitment, and responsibility, all directed toward results and performance.
For nine years, Nuclearelectrica’s leadership was provided by Mr. Cosmin Ghita, who brought vision, medium- and long-term strategy, growth, and development of the company, commitment, and a focus on excellence in operations, development, innovation, and positioning Nuclearelectrica at the national and international levels.
The refurbishment of Unit 1 at Cernavoda NPP, the Units 3 and 4 Project, technological advancement through the SMR Project, the Tritium Removal Facility Project—unique in Europe— the Medical Isotopes Project—a first for Romania—and the maintenance and development of the integrated nuclear fuel cycle through the acquisition of FPCU Feldioara and its operationalization both domestically and internationally—are projects that have been carried out and advanced in recent years, all of which are essential to Romania’s nuclear program and to Nuclearelectrica. The development of strong technical and financial partnerships has also been a priority yielding concrete results.
“Throughout all these years, we have pursued a clear objective: to position Nuclearelectrica among the leaders of the global nuclear industry through operational excellence, strategic investments, innovation, and strong partnerships. I am proud that the company’s projects are now attracting the interest of major financial institutions and international export banks, as evidenced by commitments and financing mechanisms estimated at approximately 15 billion EUR for the company’s strategic projects, including the development of SMR technology, with a significant portion of this funding provided by the U.S. government. Equally important is our human legacy. We have invested in training a new generation of specialists and leaders, prepared to carry forward the standards of excellence, professionalism, and nuclear culture that define Societatea Nationala Nuclearelectrica SA” — Cosmin Ghita, CEO of Nuclearelectrica
Effective October 3, 2026, continuity at the executive management level will be ensured by Mr. Mihai Laurentiu Gioara, whose experience, professionalism, and achievements at Nuclearelectrica—in his role as Director of Development and Portfolio Management—will ensure the implementation of the company’s strategy and the achievement of its objectives.
“I will assume this interim role with a sense of responsibility toward my colleagues, the company, and the shareholders, prioritizing safe operations, the execution of strategic investments, and the strengthening of SNN’s role in Romania’s energy security.” — Mihai Laurentiu Gioara, Director of Development and Portfolio Management
“I thank my colleagues, the management team, the Board of Directors, our partners, and everyone who has contributed to this extraordinary journey. Our achievements are the result of a collective effort. I wish Mr. Mihai Gioara every success as he takes over the executive leadership of the company. For me, a new professional chapter is beginning. I look to the future with the same energy, confidence, and desire to build.” — Cosmin Ghita, CEO of Nuclearelectrica
