“This year we allocated a record investment budget on the electricity segment, of RON387 million, 38% higher than last year,” said Csulak Ferenc, general manager of Delgaz Grid.
In the past years, of the 134 power transforming stations it operates, Delgaz Grid modernized 122 and fully or partially integrated them in the SCADA system, which allows the company to monitor and control its electrical installations in real time and intervene remotely to correct problems along the distribution chain.
At the end of 2020, the company completed a two-year program amounting to RON12.5 million, integrating 13 power stations in SCADA.
Over the next three years, the company plans to invest RON1.14 billion to continue SCADA implementation, distribution automation and SMART metering installation.
Since entering the local market in 2005, E.ON invested around EUR1.8 billion in modernizing the natural gas and electricity distribution infrastructure that currently covers 20 counties in the northern half of Romania.
Delgaz Grid operates over 23,000 km of natural gas distribution pipelines in 20 counties in northern and western Romania and an electricity distribution network of nearly 82.300 km in six counties in eastern Romania.
