Termoelectrica said the National Agency for Energy Regulation approved an investment plan with a budget of 353 million lei that includes a number of works designed to increase the consumers’ comfort and to optimize the processes and the electric power and heat production and heat distribution infrastructure.

The expected results include increased efficiency and provision of safe and intelligent centralized heating solutions for consumers.
Termoelectrica is also involved in the process of drafting the new project to improve the efficiency of the centralized heating system that is to be financed by the World Bank. At the current stage, specialists of the company are working out the task projects, while the Ministry of Economy and Infrastructure is analyzing the aspects of the procedures for negotiating and approving the financing agreement.
The investments this year will go to build new generation sources and to reconstruct the existing ones. This will enable to increase the volume of electricity by 50% and the volume of heat produced in cogeneration by about 25%.

Given the epidemiological situation in the country, the investment and maintenance works are for now performed in areas where there is no staff, obeying all authorities’ recommendations concerning the prevention of infection with COVID-19.
The project is to be approved this summer and will be implemented during four years.
