Transelectrica allocates 29 mln euro to refurbish the Bradu station

Transelectrica, the domestic system and transmission operator, announced the signing of the contract for the refurbishment of the Bradu station, the total investment amounting to almost 29.4 million euro, without VAT according to a notification sent to the Bucharest Stock Exchange.

The 400/220/110a/20 kV Bradu power station is an important junction in the National Power System which ensures transit and power connections from Muntenia and Oltenia, areas with electricity surplus to areas in Transilvania where there is electric power deficit. 

The project includes the complete refurbishment as well as the installation of two 400 MVA-400/220 kV autotransformers, two 200 MVA-220/110 kV autotransformers and two 16 MVA-110/20 kV autotransformers, its completion being scheduled for 2018. 

In April 2014, Transelectrica concluded another contract allocating some 9.5 million euro for the refurbishment of the Campia Turzii station, part of an investment programme coming to about 560 million euro to be run within 2014 and 2017 which is focused on expanding interconnections with neighboring countries, on refurbishing old electric power stations, as well as on integrating in the domestic grid renewable energy power plants.
