The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is supporting Romania’s energy security with a RON 300 million financing package for Delgaz Grid SA, aimed at upgrading and modernising the electricity distribution network in north-eastern Romania.
The loan, valued at approximately €57 million, will help finance Delgaz Grid’s 2026–2030 investment programme focused on improving energy infrastructure, expanding digital systems, and deploying smart meters across the network.
The financing is part of a larger RON 3 billion syndicated facility involving six commercial banks. The investment will support the transformation of Romania’s electricity distribution system by improving reliability, reducing network losses, and strengthening the ability to integrate renewable energy sources.
Delgaz Grid, a major electricity and gas distribution company and part of the E.ON Group, serves millions of customers across northern Romania. The company operates extensive energy networks that are essential to the country’s power supply and clean energy transition.
The planned upgrades are expected to reduce electricity disruptions, improve service quality, and support Romania’s renewable energy targets for 2030. The project also reflects broader efforts to strengthen energy resilience and accelerate the digitalisation of critical infrastructure.
The EBRD remains one of Romania’s leading institutional investors, continuing to support projects that promote sustainable infrastructure, economic development, and energy security.
