How much money did the bosses of Hidroelectrica take, accused of mocking Ilie Bolojan. “They preferred to make profits, because the water in Romania flows from hill to valley anyway”
The three members of the Hidroelectrica directorate each collected over 2.3 million gross lei last year, writes Economica. A few days ago, Prime Minister Bolojan was talking about the mockery of the public money made by the company.
“I would give you another example of what it means to make fun of the public money by not making investments. Consider that Hidroelectrica in these years made few investments. They preferred to make profits, because in any case the water in Romania flows from the hill to the valley, so it goes through hydropower plants, through dams, instead of making investments. And think that if next to every dam that is on the water course, not in the mountainous area, which must work, because you cannot shut off the water, we would have installed some storage batteries for a year or two, in such a way that all the production between lunch hours would have been stored, it would have meant higher profits for Hidroelectrica, and it would have meant 20-30% lower prices on the energy market in Romania. But they preferred to take performance bonuses every year for the profits they did not struggle for, of euros, in addition to the high salaries they have”, accused Ilie Bolojan, two days ago, in an interview on Rock Fm.
22,000 euros/net/month
The Economica website published on Tuesday the amounts that the three heads of Hidroelectrica collected last year. 2,302,861 lei, each, gross amount for Bogdan Badea (interim CEO), Radu Constantin and Ianaș Rădoi.
Of this amount, the fixed part is about 784,000 lei, and the variable part of almost 1.52 million, the part that depended on meeting the performance criteria in the mandate contract.
According to Economica's calculations, the 2.3 million gross lei per year represents almost 200,000 gross lei per month, i.e. a gross monthly income of 37,600 euros. In net amount: around 22,000 euros/month.
