Sustainable Development Program (PDD) in the Banat area
Project: “Smart interventions for optimizing consumption for end customers and improving the quality of the distribution service through the use of high-quality consumption data in Timiș county.”
SMIS Code: 326976
Funding Source: Sustainable Development Program 2021-2027
Priority 4:
Promoting energy efficiency, smart energy systems and networks, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Action 4.3:
Reducing GHG emissions and increasing energy efficiency in energy distribution and transport systems.
Call Code:
PDD/221/PDD_P4/OP2.
General objective
The second phase of the project involves the implementation of an Integrated ADMS Platform (Advanced Distribution Management System), which will contribute to reducing the average household energy consumption and improving the quality of the distribution service.
Total Value
The total contract value is 46,045,807.69 RON, VAT included, of which the total eligible value is 32,802,347.93 RON (100% of the total approved eligible value), with 9,418,311.64 RON funded through the Large Infrastructure Operational Program (POIM) 2014-2020 and 23,384,036.2 RON through the Sustainable Development Program 2021-2027.
According to Emergency Ordinance No. 36 of May 17, 2023, regarding the general framework for closing operational programs funded during the 2014-2020 programming period, and in line with Order No. 2233/28.05.2024 (Applicant’s Guide – Conditions for Accessing Funding for Phased Energy Sector Projects), projects that were not completed under the Large Infrastructure Operational Program (POIM) 2014-2020, Priority Axis 10.2, may be finalized through the Sustainable Development Program 2021-2027, Priority 4 – Promoting energy efficiency, smart energy systems and networks, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Action 4.5 – Projects for modernizing and expanding electricity transport and distribution networks and constructing new networks with integrated digitalization elements.
This project, with a total duration of 49 months (22.05.2022 – 25.06.2026), will implement the following component in Phase II (29.11.2024 – 25.06.2026):
Component C2
Includes a new DMS/EMS module and its integration with existing SCADA and OMS modules. This will create a smart network area where end customers benefit from higher-quality services at a standardized level, allowing them to predictably adjust their consumption behavior. This will lead to reduced individual consumption and increased energy efficiency, significantly lowering the local CO2 footprint and mitigating associated climate effects. Thus, achieving the project’s primary objective contributes to the program’s specific objective: “Specific objective 6RSO2.3 – developing local smart energy systems, networks, and storage systems outside the trans-european energy network.”
