Andrei Manea is the Executive Director of the Romanian Photovoltaic and Storage Industry Association, offering a comprehensive perspective on the evolving dynamics of clean energy in Romania.

Previously, Andrei spent over a decade at Enel, where he held several strategic roles across regulatory, development, and European affairs. As Head of Regulatory Affairs and later Business Development Manager at Enel Green Power, he represented the company in its external relations and coordinated cross-functional teams to identify and assess renewable energy opportunities — helping shape a pipeline of over 2,000 MW in wind, solar, and storage. Later, in a group-level role as European Institutional Affairs and Funding Specialist, he worked closely with EU stakeholders and internal leadership to advance sustainable finance and funding priorities.

Building on this experience, Andrei continues to follow with interest the implementation of emerging models such as energy communities, especially in regions with limited access to grid infrastructure—reflecting a broader commitment to real-world energy challenges and solutions.

Andrei’s professional vision is grounded in the pursuit of a more open, inclusive, and efficient energy system—one where public decisions are informed by market realities and the transformative potential of clean technologies.
