The infrastructure operated by Re\u021bele Electrice companies represents a vector of economic growth, to ensure the energy transition and the competitiveness of the economy. We already have the most efficient distribution operators in Romania and obtaining such financing, at competitive pricing, allow us to maintain a low level of costs, for the benefit of our customers.
