Rețele Electrice Romania, part of the PPC group in Romania, has completed the modernization works of the electricity distribution networks serving over 4,000 customers in the town of Năvodari, for a total value of over 22 million lei (including VAT). The company attracted European funds to co-finance the projects, through the Modernization Fund. The European co-financing was worth approximately 17.5 million lei.
Thus, at the end of 2025, Rețele Electrice Romania completed a project to modernize and increase the reliability of the medium-voltage electrical networks related to the Năvodari transformer station. The total value of the investment exceeded 22 million lei, of which 17.5 million lei came from the Modernization Fund.
Among the works carried out within this project, aimed at improving the quality of the distribution service, are: the modernization of the medium voltage lines in the Năvodari 110/20 kV transformer station, where about 37 km of medium voltage power lines were modernized and extended. Also, 14 transformer stations were modernized and digital systems were introduced that provide a higher level of network monitoring and control.
“The completion of this project financed by the Modernization Fund reflects our constant commitment to consolidate and modernize the distribution networks in Constanța County, especially in the Năvodari area, where we are also modernizing the transformer station. Through these investments, we are creating the premises for the integration of modern telecontrol technologies and for the development of a safer and more efficient infrastructure, which better meets the needs of local communities and contributes to increasing the quality of life,” said Mihai Pește, General Manager of Rețele Electrice România
These works to modernize the lines and transformer stations strengthen the quality of the service offered by increasing the safety, but also the reliability of the network in supplying electricity.
The company Rețele Electrice România operates networks with a total length of approximately 136,000 kilometers in three important areas of the country: Muntenia (including Bucharest), Banat and Dobrogea, covering a third of the local distribution market, and is developing an investment program to improve the quality of services, the safety and performance of the networks and the local implementation of the environmental standards of the PPC group. The electricity networks operated by Rețele Electrice România include 293 transformer stations and over 26,000 transformer stations.
