“We are trying to start earlier a few investment projects. In 2017-2018, an investment boom awaits,” Teau said.

Among the investment plans for the next years, Transelectrica wants to build two new interconnection lines with Serbia and Hungary, which would allow increased electricity exports.

Last year, Transelectrica invested 262 million lei (EUR59 million), Teau said. He added most of the investment planned for this year will be funded from own sources and a RON200 million bond issue launched in December 2013.
