EximBank has provided a 54 million lei loan to EPC contractor Romelectro, funds destined to execute the contract concluded with Transelectrica  at the end of September 2012 for the refurbishment of the Bradu station.

Apart from covering the temporary cash needs of Romelectro, the loan facility includes the letters of guarantee from the bank needed for this assignment. The company won the contract by tender, the beneficiary, Transelectrica, allocating funds of 29 million euro for this project which 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 at the Bradu station.
