Retele Electrice Banat company, part of PPC Group in Romania, launched, through the public procurement information system, a procurement procedure for works for the modernization of medium and low voltage grids in Cenad, Timis County, for the benefit of approximately 1,600 inhabitants. The value of the tender is 45.2 million RON (9.1 million euros), without VAT.
The works in Cenad consist of modernizing and amplifying eight transformer stations, by switching from the air station structure on the pole to the post in the concrete envelope and introducing them into the remote-control system, so that manoeuvres can be performed remotely, from the dispatch center, thus reducing the time needed to identify and remedy in case of incidents.
The project also includes the modernization of the low voltage network, by replacing conductors on a length of 43 km and their reconfiguration, introducing underground low voltage and a medium voltage line.
In addition, fiber optic lines will be installed to ensure fast communication necessary for remote network monitoring and control activities, as well as electricity quality analysers in each secondary substation.
The project has a total value of 58 million RON (VAT included) and is co-financed by the Modernization Fund with a maximum value of 34.45 million RON.
The deadline for submitting bids is July 15, 2024, and the works will have a duration of 25 months from the conclusion of the contract.
