'We will participate in all auctions exceeding one million euro, including CEZ, Verbund, RWE, and anyone else now organizing aeolian auctions,' said Petru Ruset, Manager of the Energy Products Solutions & Services Division of Siemens SRL. He further indicated that Siemens is preparing document for the auction organized by the Czech CEZ company for the Cogealac wind project in two weeks. According to market sources, the contract could be worth some 270 million euros.

Wednesday evening, Siemens presented its new Siemens SRL Romania management, including Cristian Secosan, who moves from his position as General Manager of E.ON Moldova Furnizare to become Chief Executive Officer of the Romanian Siemens branch, confirming information published by Business Standard on 9 June. Secosan will take over from the interim CEO Wolfgang Flandorfer.

The German company is enjoying growth in Romania and does not plan any layoffs, according to an announcement during the presentation of the new management team by Brigitte Ederer, Siemens CEO for Central and Eastern Europe and President of Siemens Austria, which coordinates the company's activities in 19 countries. 'This is crisis time, but not as bad as we expected. We are an infrastructure company and funds are still being invested in this area,' said Ederer.
