The stations will be located within Rompetrol stations in the new integrated service centers opened on the A1 motorway, an important part of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T).
“As a company focused on sustainable development, we recognize the major role of charging stations for electric vehicles in our decarbonization approach. The grid deployment of charging service for electric vehicles is an important step in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fighting climate change. We are pleased to announce the successful initiation of our first project co-financed by the European Union. This milestone marks a significant step in our commitment to innovation and sustainable development”, stated Alua Amirova, Strategy and Sustainable Development Director at KMG International (Rompetrol).
The project “Development of alternative fuels infrastructure by Rompetrol on the A1 highway at the RO-HU border” is co-financed by the European Union through the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF-Transport), which was approved on March 15, 2023 by the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency.
The aim of the project is to install 11 300 kW charging stations (each station with two 150 kW charging points) and to upgrade the grid connection for 11 locations with a power of 600 kW each.
The total estimated value of the project nars EUR2.2 million, of which about EUR900k will be granted by the European Union. The project period is 36 months, running from November 10, 2022 to November 9, 2025.
