(IN BRIEF) The European Investment Bank (EIB) is lending €200 million to Romanian energy distributor Delgaz Grid to modernize the electricity network in Moldova’s northeastern region. This funding, part of a €630 million investment program, will enhance energy efficiency, support renewable energy integration, and improve electricity distribution for over 1.5 million households and businesses. Scheduled for completion by 2027, the project includes upgrades to 80,000 kilometers of power lines, advanced metering, and network automation.

(PRESS RELEASE) LUXEMBOURG, 21-Nov-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — The European Investment Bank (EIB) is providing a €200 million loan to Delgaz Grid, Romania’s energy distributor, to modernize the electricity network in the northeastern region of Moldova. This financing is part of Delgaz Grid’s €630 million investment program aimed at enhancing the resilience, efficiency, and sustainability of the power infrastructure that serves over 1.5 million households and businesses.
Scheduled for completion by 2027, the project will implement advanced technologies to support renewable energy integration, including solar power, and improve energy efficiency. It will focus on upgrading high-, medium-, and low-voltage lines, as well as modernizing metering and network automation systems. These improvements are expected to decarbonize the energy sector while ensuring reliable electricity distribution within Romania and across borders.
“This investment will significantly enhance the energy grid, enabling it to handle renewable sources while supporting regional economic development,” stated EIB Vice-President Ioannis Tsakiris. “By incorporating digitized infrastructure, Delgaz Grid’s network will become smarter and more resilient, directly benefiting millions of households.”
The upgrades will cover over 80,000 kilometers of power lines and align with the Carpathian Modernised Energy Network (CARMEN) initiative, a European project aimed at improving electricity interconnections between Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria by 2028.
Volker Raffel, CEO of E.ON Romania, the parent company of Delgaz Grid, emphasized the transformative potential of the investment. “Our €630 million commitment to upgrading and digitizing infrastructure is crucial for Romania’s economic growth and energy transition. This partnership with the EIB allows us to address the rapid expansion of renewable energy, electric vehicle infrastructure, and the growing number of prosumers. These efforts will improve operational efficiency, ensure secure electricity distribution, and enhance the quality of our services for clients across the region.”
By supporting Delgaz Grid’s modernization efforts, the EIB reinforces its dedication to advancing sustainable energy solutions, promoting decarbonization, and fostering economic growth in Romania and beyond.
