As Minister, Nicolescu has marked some significant wins, including the energy sector analysis for the revision of the Romanian strategy 2015-2035, the completion of some strategic projects in the energy sector (such as the Iași – Ungheni gas inter-connector or modernization of Urziceni gas storage facility) and redefined the State’s role as shareholder in the energy companies through increased transparency and through encouraging a private and professional management.
He also contributed to the largest IPO on the Romanian market- the successful listing of Electrica. He has been president of the Administrative Board of the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators being designated by the Council of the European Union in 2009.
For more than five years he was director in the largest oil and gas producer in Southeast Europe OMV Petrom. Nicolescu graduated from Energy Faculty of “Politehnica” University of Bucharest and holds an MBA degree from the Solvay Business School.
