Energa Group gets a new president

Gdańsk-based Energa, the state's largest energy supplier, consists of 8 power plants from northern and central Poland. The group, created two years ago, has got a 17% market share, 2.7 million clients and posted revenues of zł.5 billion in 2005. Recently it submitted a joint offer with the Industry Development Agency (ARP) to buy the Gdynia Shipyards (SG). Despite this project, however, in early May this year the Treasury Minister, Wojciech Jasiński, representative of the group's owner, replaced half of the ten seat supervisory board. It soon became evident that the state was going to dismiss the board of directors, too, and since June 13 two deputy presidents, Adam Jaśkowski and Piotr Ogiński, appointed by the new supervisory board, have led Energa. Finally, last Saturday Alicja Klimiuk was chosen as the new president. She was previously deputy president of the city of Suwałki and president of the Suwałki Special Economic Zone.
