“So far we have installed some 100 public and private EV charging stations through the E.ON Drive project. We plan to expand the network of EV charging stations to 150 by end of 2021,” Claudia Griech said.
The network should then expand to 300 charging stations over the next two or three years, if things go as intended, she added.
E.ON Energie Romania budgeted RON5.35 billion (EUR1.1 billion) revenue for this year, 27% higher than last year. This is the company that handles the energy and natural gas supply business of the German-held group in Romania.
E.ON is therefore becoming one of the groups with the most solid electric mobility development plans. Data centralized by ZF show there are some 1,000 EV chargers in Romania at the moment, with more to come.
Besides electric mobility, E.ON is also relying on development of the solar power plants for growth. It has already installed 55 photovoltaic parks for 41 local companies, which makes it the biggest such portfolio among utility companies in Romania.
