The distribution company Delgaz Grid began in the fourth quarter of 2024, together with its partner ETHGroup, the modernization works at the Roman Laminor transformer station, through an investment of over 51 million lei including VAT (around 10 million euros) from which over 36,000 customers from Roman municipality and 111 other localities in the surrounding area will benefit.

After the completion of the works, estimated at the end of this year, consumers will benefit from better services by increasing the degree of continuity in the electricity supply and the quality of the distribution service, while increasing the connection capacity for new consumers, prosumers and green energy producers. At the same time, the Roman Laminor station is connected to two other transformer stations, Tupilați and Filipești, which provides increased security in the electricity supply of the area.

The main works consist of replacing the equipment specific to the distribution of electricity at 110 kV (circuit breakers, separators, measuring transformers) and 20 kV (control room and modular connections). The protection and measuring systems will also be replaced, as well as those that ensure the station’s own consumption, both in alternating current and direct current.

The equipment and technologies used are of the latest generation, and the station will be supervised and controlled remotely, to be integrated into the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system.

Of the total value of the works, over 51 million lei, 33.4 million lei represents non-refundable co-financing from the Modernization Fund, and 17.6 million lei including VAT is the contribution of Delgaz Grid.

In December of last year, Delgaz Grid completed the construction of a new transformer station in the municipality of Onești, county. Bacău, through an investment of 22.7 million lei, which will benefit over 31,000 customers.

At the moment, there are still in various stages of implementation projects with European co-financing for the modernization of another 32 transformer stations in the six counties of Moldova in which Delgaz Grid operates in the electricity segment.
