The company Rețele Electrice România launches through the public procurement information system (SEAP), the procurement procedure for works worth 77.89 million lei for a project to modernize the energy infrastructure located in the communes of Ștefan cel Mare, Perișoru and Borcea, in Călărași County.

The project aims to reconfigure, modernize and increase the capacity of the Perișoru overhead medium-voltage power line by replacing the conductor and undergrounding the line over a length of about 35 km. The project also covers the modernization of about 50 km of low voltage networks as well as the installation of fiber optics to ensure an efficient and fast operation of the SCADA remote control system.

As part of the project, 11 transformer substations will be upgraded, of which 9 will be moved from poles to new concrete envelopes, and two transformer substations in masonry will be relocated to the public domain. Six new transformer substations and three connection points will also be installed, all in concrete tires. All these works are aimed at replacing the equipment with state-of-the-art ones, installing remote control equipment and will lead to an increase in the continuity of supply, as well as to an increase in distribution capacity in the area.

The connections for over 2,500 consumers in the localities of Stefan cel Mare and Perișoru will be upgraded, meaning that the metering groups will be removed at the property boundary and the associated subscriber columns will be rebuilt.

The implementation of the project has the benefits of increasing the security of energy supply and minimizing the effects of consumption on the environment by reducing CO2 emissions while reducing losses.

The project has a total value of 81.3 million lei, excluding VAT, and is co-financed by the Modernization Fund with a maximum amount of 57 million lei.

The deadline for the submission of tenders is March 18th, 2025, and the works will last 25 months from the conclusion of the contract.

The company Rețele Electrice România operates networks with a total length of about 134,000 kilometers in three major areas of the country: Muntenia Sud (including Bucharest), Banat and Dobrogea, covering one third of the local distribution market, and is developing an investment program to improve the quality of service, safety and performance of the networks and local implementation of the PPC Group’s environmental standards. The electricity networks operated by Rețele Electrice Romania include 289 transformer stations and over 25,000 transformer substations.
