- Distribution of total dividends (base and special) of 3.6 billion lei
- 9 bn lei investment budget for 2026, up 23%
The general shareholders’ meetings of OMV Petrom – ordinary and extraordinary – held on April 28 2026 approved all the proposals submitted by the Executive Board, including the distribution of total dividends (base and special) amounting to 3.6 billion lei, as well as the 2026 budget, which allocates around 9 billion lei for investments, a 23% increase compared to previous year.
“In a context marked by geopolitical tensions and volatility in energy markets, OMV Petrom remains a reliable partner for Romania. We supply one third of the country’s fuel and natural gas needs, contribute around 10% of its power generation, and, in 2025, we paid over 16 billion lei to the state through taxes and dividends. In 2026, we are investing 9 billion lei to advance our major projects: Neptun Deep is progressing toward first gas in 2027, the sustainable fuels project at Petrobrazi is moving forward, and our renewable energy projects are entering the implementation phase. These projects are essential for strengthening Romania’s energy security and supporting the energy transition. Our shareholders are aligned with these priorities for the period ahead.”, said Christina Verchere, CEO of OMV Petrom.
