Electrical line linking Arad to Nadab and Bekescsaba opens on Friday
AGERPRES - Romanian News Agency - 12 Decembrie 2008
Romanian grid Transelectrica and its Hungarian counterpart MAVIR officially commissioned on Friday the 400-kilovats electrical line linking Arad and Nadab (Romania) to Bekescsaba (Hungary).
Attending the event were officials of the Romanian Ministry of Economy and Finance, local authorities, the executive managers and officials of Transelectrica and MAVIR, representatives of the constructors, consultants and financing institutions, partners and co-workers of the two companies, experts and reporters from Romania and Hungary, Transelectrica said in a press release.
The new linking line, which is the first being built in nearly 20 years, represents one of the priorities of the governing programme in the electricity sector and it will promote the expanded commercial ties between the two neighbours. The connexion line is 94-km long, of which 56 km are on the Romanian territory and 38 in Hungary.
The project value totals roughly 25.7 million euros. The highly-complex linking project includes a 400-kV electrical connexion station located at Nadab, air electrical lines of 400 kV, 34-km long at Arad-Nadab and 60-km long between Nadab and Bekescsaba, of which 22 km on the Romanian territory and 72-km long line between Oradea and Nadab.
The construction of this new connexion line offers many advantages amid the development of the regional electricity market, of the inter-linking of the National Electro-Energy System to the similar UCTE Western European systems and the recognition by the UCTE of the existence of certain limitations of the power transfer capacities among the member states. This is the second inter-linking line between Romania and Hungary, besides the existing 400-kV line linking Arad and Sandorfalva.
The new Arad - Nadab - Bekescsaba line offers a range of benefits to the functioning of the national electricity transport networks and to the inter-linked functioning with the UCTE Western European system. It secures the supply of a consumption area of some 1,000 megawatts in the northwestern part of the Romanian National Electricity System, it increases voltage stability in the System's northwestern area thus cutting the energy losses, it strengthens the inter-connexion network in western Romania therefore allowing for an increase in the energy transit between Romania and Hungary and in the financial advantages to both sides and it improves the safe functioning and quality of the transport service in the Romanian electro-energy systems from Romania and Hungary, the release said.
