The financing totaled RON34.99 million, of which RON21.6 million covered by E.ON Distributie Romania and RON13.3 million non-reimbursable financing (88% from the EU regional development fund and 12% from the state bufget).
E.ON Distributie Romania was founded in January following the merger of E.ON’s electricity and gas distribution units in Romania, Moldova Distributie and E.ON Gaz Distributie.
The company plans to invest RON197 million this year, 11% less than in 2014.
Following this investment, E.ON said its power outage rate in Romania dropped by 37% compared to 2008, and power outage duration dropped by 55%. The utility group serves approximately 3 million customers in 20 counties in central and eastern Romania.
At the end of last year, E.ON had 6,523 employees in Romania, down from 6,903 in 2013.
