The elected president of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silvaappointed senator on Friday John Paul Prates as the next CEO of Petrobrasin what will probably mean a new orientation of the state oil giant towards renewable energy.
The news was first announced by Prates, followed shortly by a tweet from Lula, who stated that the new boss “will lead the company towards a great future.”
I would like to announce the nomination of Jean Paul Prates for the presidency of Petrobras. Lawyer, economist and an expert in the energy sector, to guide the company towards a great future.
— Lula (@LulaOficial) December 30, 2022
Prates, a leading voice on energy policy within Lula’s leftist Workers’ Party (PT), was already considered a strong candidate for the Petrobras job after being named to the mines and energy group of the transition team.
Following his formal appointment, Prates said he would go to the Petrobras board and to Brazilian society in general “to present our plans for the company in detail.”
Prates advocates greater investment in renewable energy, but has already said that the new government has no intention of causing a “bankruptcy” of Petroleo Brasileiro SAas the company is formally known.
Lula also appointed Tarciana Medeiros as head of Banco do Brasil SA and Rita Serrano at Caixa Econômica Federal, thus fulfilling his promise to name two women at the head of state credit entities.
