Large Infrastructure Operational Program (POIM) in the Dobrogea area: increasing distribution capacity

Project: “Increasing the distribution capacity of the 110 kV D.C. Constanța Nord – Medgidia Nord, Nazarcea – Medgidia 1 overhead power line; 110 kV Medgidia Nord – Mircea Vodă Nord overhead power line; 110 kV Mircea Vodă Nord – Mircea Vodă overhead power line – network strengthening works upstream of the connection point of production capacities for the integration of electricity produced from renewable resources”
SMIS Code 2014+148269
Funding source: Large Infrastructure Operational Program 2014-2020
Priority Axis 10:
Protecting public health in the context of the COVID-19 health crisis, increasing energy efficiency, and using renewable energy sources, funded by REACT-EU.
Specific objective 10.2.:
Increasing energy efficiency and using renewable energy sources to support a green, digital, and resilient economic recovery.
Call:
POIM/968/10/2/Increasing energy efficiency and using renewable energy sources to support a green, digital, and resilient economic recovery.
The general objective
of the project is to increase the security of electricity supply for consumers and ensure the technical conditions for integrating energy produced from renewable energy sources (RES) by reducing the limitations imposed on renewable energy producers under N-1 operational conditions and improving network management efficiency.
Total value
of the financing contract is 17,609,429.03 RON, of which the eligible amount funded through the Large Infrastructure Operational Program 2014-2020 is 14,062,943.82 RON (99.62% of the total approved eligible amount, respectively 14,117,384.72 RON).
This project, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund through the Large Infrastructure Operational Program 2014-2020, with a total duration of 39 months (01.10.2020 – 31.12.2023), aims to enhance the security of electricity supply for customers, producers, and consumers by reducing the number of large-scale failures and increasing the distribution network’s capacity to integrate more energy from renewable sources. The following components will be implemented:
Component C1
consists of the modernization of 4 substations: 3 modernized 110/6 kV power stations – Mircea Vodă, Medgidia Nord, Nazarcea – and 1 modernized 110 kV connection station – Mircea Vodă Nord.
Componenta C2
consists of the reconductoring of 14 km of segments from 4 110 kV overhead power lines.
