Transelectrica gets 19m euro station

Swiss-Swedish supplier of equipment and energy services ABB has delivered the 400/110/10 kV Constanta Nord electrical station to the national energy carrier Transelectrica in a retooling deal worth 19 million euros, Ion Merfu, Transelectrica general manager said. Transelectrica bears the project cost 85% through a loan taken out from German KfW Bank, with the rest covered with its own resources and funding from the special energy system development fund. “This very important node for the Romanian energy system, which was rehabilitated by ABB, is fully compliant with the UCTE (Union for the Co-ordination of Transmission of Electricity) standards,” ABB representatives said.
