The new CEO, Marco Arcelli, was appointed by the Acwa Power board and came from outside the company, with previous experience at Italy’s Enel and EP New Energy, where he served as CEO and Chairman. Ending an 18-year tenure at Acwa where he had been founding CEO, Padmanathan will retain his seat on the company's board of directors. “The company has an amazing agenda and a solid leadership team," he said.
