E-DISTRIBUTIE DOBROGEA COMPLETED THE MODERNISATION OF THE ABATOR PRIMARY STATION IN CONSTANTA
E-Distributie Dobrogea has completed the modernisation project of the Abator primary station in Constanta, following investment of approximately 12 million lei, which will improve the distribution service quality for about 26,000 customers.
