According to the legislation in force, DEER has recovered and completed, until June 30, 2023, the investment works started in the past years, so that the final value of the investment works related to the year 2022 is 558 million lei. The value of the investments made on December 31, 2022 amounts to 463 million lei, which represents a percentage of about 83% of the planned value.
“2022 was a very difficult year, with many challenges and critical situations, the lack of cash flow being one of our biggest problems. The fact that ANRE decided this year to increase distribution tariffs, as required by law, allows us to implement an ambitious investment plan, more than 15% higher than the one in 2022. We succeeded, until the middle of the year, to complete investments started in previous years and to reach a degree of almost 99.9% realization of the plan for the last year. Moreover, we are also on schedule with the investments assumed for this year. If liquidity has created problems for us, we have tried to overcome them by resorting to non-reimbursable funds. We are champions in accessing European money! We are proud that DEER’s efforts to identify financial resources for investment projects have been successful. We have projects co-financed from the European Regional Development Fund through the Large Infrastructure Operational Program (POIM), from the Modernization Fund, from the PNRR. There are hundreds of millions of lei that we are accessing and we are thinking of accessing in the future, our target being at least 300 million euros”, said Mihaela Rodica Suciu, DEER general director.
The investments ensure the increase in the performance of the electrical distribution network (RED), in the context in which each completed project leads to obtaining at least one of the following benefits: improving service performance indicators, in compliance with legal provisions and contractual provisions, improving the energy efficiency of network by reducing own technological consumption (CPT) and reducing operation and maintenance costs (OPEX).
