Pedro Amaral Jorge to lead the Iberian Electricity Market Operator

Pedro Amaral Jorge, former president of the Portuguese Renewable Energy Association (APREN) for eight years, has been appointed to lead the central institutions of the Iberian Electricity Market (MIBEL), assuming the presidency of the Iberian Market Operator (OMIP and OMIE). The appointment was approved by the governments of Portugal and Spain following his election by the market's shareholders. Minister of Environment and Energy, Maria da Graça Carvalho, praised the move as a key step for the European electricity market. APREN confirmed his departure, noting that the association's leadership will be managed by its board until a successor is named.
