Transelectrica completed the modernization of the Ungheni station following 10-million-euro investment

Transelectrica inaugurated the refurbished 220/110/20 kV Ungheni Electric Power Station, with a total investment of over 10 million euros from its own funds, the works being executed by the Siemens Energy SRL – Emsens Prod SRL association, according to a company release.

The 220/110/20 kV Ungheni Electric Power Station is an energy node with an important role in the electricity supply of Mureș county, but also in the supply of a large consumer, namely the Azomureș plant. The re-engineering process consisted in replacing the existing equipment with new, up-to-date equipment in the technological field, which ensures the operation and bringing the installations to a level of safety and reliability corresponding to the energy infrastructure in the area, in order to increase the quality of the electricity transport service.

“We can affirm with all responsibility that this investment serves both to increase the safety of supplying local consumption, but also to Transelectrica’s strategic objective of creating the conditions for economic development, by ensuring the network conditions for large industrial consumers. The upgrading of the Ungheni station was a project with many challenges that once again confirm the serious commitment assumed by Transelectrica for the modernization of the network, a fact demonstrated by the intense investment pace of the Company in the last period”, said Ștefăniță Munteanu, President of the Directorate.

“The process of upgrading the entire station, by equipping it with high-performance equipment and intelligent surveillance, diagnostic and remote-control systems, was carried out in accordance with the ANRE general energy regulations and with the European requirements regarding the current performance standards provided for a sustainable energy infrastructure. The completion of this large investment has considerably increased the safety in serving the users of the electric transmission network, also contributing to the substantial reduction of the costs regarding the maintenance of the facilities,” according to Transelectrica’s release.
