At a shareholders meeting, Latvenergo elected two new members to its supervisory board — Jūlija Zandersone and Uldis Upenieks. They replace Kaspars Rokens, who had served on the board on a temporary basis pending confirmation of the selection process results. The board will now operate with five members, also including Aigars Laizāns, Toms Siliņš and Rodžers Jānis Grigalis.
Raivis Bremšmits, State Secretary of the Ministry of Economics, noted that Latvenergo is not only the largest energy company in the Baltics but also one of the biggest investors in Latvia, adding that it is important to continue developing both in energy and in related technologies that create higher added value.
