The 400 kV Oradea Sud – NÄdab Overhead Power Line was put into operation, thus making it possible for the entire 400 kV Oradea Sud – Nadab – Bekescsaba (Hungary) section to enter commercial operation, Transelectrica announces. The investment worth 4 million RON was completed six months before the contractual term, the works being executed by SC Electromontaj SA Bucharest. The construction of this line section will increase the cross-border capacity with Hungary to 1000 MW.
“The operationalization of the 400 kV Line Oradea Sud – Bekescsaba (Hungary) is a success in terms of securing electricity in the northwestern part of the country, thus allowing a sustainable economic development of this area, both through the possibility of connecting new consumers, as well as new renewable power plants. This investment has a significant contribution to increasing the safety of the National Electric Power System, to reducing the costs of managing network congestion and to reducing its own technological consumption. One of the most important benefits is that it will allow the implementation of important investment and major maintenance programs in the area, with an impact on improving the technical performance and reliability of the electricity transmission network. The commissioning of this line in the middle of the contractual period was possible due to the efforts and involvement of the contractor Electromontaj SA Bucharest, the team of specialists of CNTEE Transelectrica SA, the county and local authorities from Bihor County and Electrica SA. I would like to thank my colleagues who helped to put this project in a straight line and complete this project, as well as the builder who understood the great importance of the investment and turned the engines to the maximum. It was a team success, a result of a very good collaboration with the authorities and the other operators involved. It is proof that it is possible,â said Catalin Nitu, the president of the CNTEE Transelectrica SA Management Board.
