The company is seeking to purchase two types of transformers: three-phase power transformers for IT/MV and MV/MV.

The company will also continue projects funded by POIM and the Fund for Modernization in Banat, Dobrogea, and Muntenia South, with a total value of RON 1.4 billion (€282.2 million) for the 2026-2029 period. From this amount, RON 340 million (€68.5 million) will be financed entirely from the company's own funds.
