Today, the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) elected its new governance team, which will be effective as from 26 June 2025 until the ENTSO-E General Assembly in June 2027.  

The new governance team will be led by the President, Zbyněk Boldiš. It will also include the Vice-President, Susana De Almeida de Graaff, and the Chair of the Board, Damian Cortinas. The new Vice-Chair of the Board will be elected in the first regular meeting of ENTSO-E’s Board in September.

On the occasion of his re-election, President Zbyněk Boldiš noted: ”I am humbled by the continued confidence of the Assembly. As we stand at a crucial moment in Europe’s energy transition, I look forward to working with all members and stakeholders to build a resilient, interconnected, and truly secure power system for future needs and developments.” 

Incoming Vice-President Susana De Almeida de Graaff emphasised: ”It’s an honour to join ENTSO-E’s leadership. I look forward to working collaboratively to advance the energy transition, strengthen regional cooperation, and contribute to a secure and sustainable electricity system for Europe.” 

Chair of the Board Damian Cortinas added: “It is a privilege to serve again and continue to contribute to build a forward-looking and public-service oriented association. Together with our members and stakeholders, we will drive forward initiatives that support an efficient European power system, as a foundation for the security of the Continent and the competitiveness of the European economy.”
