Gen-I, the largest Slovenian electricity trader, has appointed new members to its supervisory board, marking the end of changes within the state energy sector of the Gen group. The new supervisors, Aleksander Zupančič, Mario Pleić, Aljaž Pasarič, and Klemen Grešak, replaced four outgoing members whose mandates ended earlier this week. These changes were officially registered by the district court in Krško. Meanwhile, Jure Soklič has taken over as CEO of Gen-I after a five-year term starting August 31. This leadership change followed the appointment of Andrej Vizjak, a prominent member of the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) and former minister, as head of Gen Energija, the group’s flagship company. Vizjak explained that these personnel changes aim to resolve previous unusual ownership and management structures. Due to cross-shareholding between Gen-I, Gen-Energija, and Gen-EL, the state-owned Gen-Energija previously lacked full control over Gen-I despite owning 100% of it through indirect shareholding.
Gen-I has appointed new board members. The company Gen-I, which is state-owned, announced the appointment of four new board members last week. They include Aleksander Zupančič, Mario Pleić, Aljaž Pasarič, and Klemen Grešak. This marks the end of changes within the state energy sector of the Gen group. The previous board members, Mateja Fridl Stojanović, Ivana Nedižavec Korada, Mitja Učakarja, and Primož Stropnik, had their mandates end the day before. The district court in Krško registered these changes today. Jure Soklič has remained at the helm of Gen-I since August 31, beginning his five-year mandate. His appointment followed the departure of Nadina Drobne Popovič, who was replaced by Andrej Vizjak, a prominent member of the SDS party and former minister, as head of Gen Energija, the group's flagship company. The personnel changes occurred shortly after the restructuring of the board of Gen Energija, following the expiration of the previous members' terms. Currently, the board of Gen Energija includes Martin Bratanič, Goran Brankovič, Gordana Radanovič, Nina Marin, Goran Udovč, and Štefan Belingar. Employees are represented by Jan Lokar, Katja Simončič Stropnik, and Samo Fürst. Vizjak described the changes as aimed primarily at resolving unusual ownership and management arrangements. Gen-I is owned by Gen Energija and Gen-EL, each holding a 50 percent stake. In turn, Gen-EL is jointly owned by Gen Energija and Gen-I. Due to this cross-ownership structure, the fully state-owned Gen Energija previously lacked full managerial control over Gen-I. If the state is a 100 percent owner of a business and is responsible for it, it must also have managerial authority, Vizjak explained during the change.
The Slovenian state-owned energy group Gen has undergone significant changes in its management structure. New board members, Aleksander Zupančič, Mario Pleić, Aljaž Pasarič, and Klemen Grešak, have been appointed, replacing previous members whose mandates ended. These changes follow a reorganization within the broader Gen group, which includes companies like Gen Energija and Gen-EL. The restructuring aims to resolve complex ownership and governance issues, particularly involving cross-shareholding between Gen Energija and Gen-EL, where neither had full control over the other despite being fully state-owned. Andrej Vizjak, a prominent member of the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) and former minister, now leads Gen Energija, marking a shift in leadership within the group.
