Together with the Supervisory Board members who were also appointed by the principal shareholder, Dr. Ghoreishi obtained an election result of 99,97 percent. Thus, EnBW, which holds a share of 29,74 percent in the EVN since October 2005, is henceforth represented in the Supervisory Board of the leading Austrian provincial supplier.

„We are very pleased that the strategic relationship between EVN and EnBW will now also be further reinforced on this institutionalised path“, said Prof. Dr. Utz Claassen, chairman of the Board of Management of EnBW. „Dr. Ghoreishi is an outstanding specialist, who with his large international experience and competence represents an enrichment for each board of this kind.“
