We currently have 20 projects with a value of 248.2 million Euro contracted through the “Fund for Modernization” program. Six of these consider the modernization of some transformer stations. Through these projects, we are one step closer to the digitalization of the company, one of the basic pillars of the Oltenia Distribution strategy. The consumer is at the center of our activity, and the investments we plan and make are aimed at ensuring services at high quality standards.” Ondrej Safar, CEO Evryo Group.
