The investment is put at about EUR23 million, Transelectrica said in a release.
“The investment proposed is also included in the list of the main projects to develop the electricity transmission network in the Integrated National Energy and Climate Change Plan, which is Romania’s commitment to the join effort to meet the European energy and climate goals set for 2030,” Transelectrica officials say.
The implementation of the project for the new Constanta Nord – Medgidia Sud 400 kV overhead power line will contribute to the development of the electricity transmission network in Dobrogea and allow integration of an additional 685 MW of electricity generated by renewable sources in the area by 2025. It will also help curb greenhouse gas emissions by about 16,000 tons a year.
