The Government decided that the building and reconstruction of five power lines within the project to rehabilitate the power transportation networks of IS Moldelectrica will be considered works of public utility, IPN reports.
The five power lines are: 110 kV Soldanesti–Ignatei line of 22 km; 110 kV Drochia–Suri line of 14.3 km; 110 kV Suri-Donduseni line of 23.6 km; 110kV Chisinau–Hancesti line of 25.5 km and 110kV Hancesti–Cneazevca line of 42.7 km. They are 130 km long overall.
The designing works were completed and a contact is to be signed with the winner of the bidding contest. Over €5.3 million will be used to build and reconstruct the lines. The money was provided by the EBRD and the Neighborhood Investment Fund as a grant. The project will last for at most 24 months.
The declaring of the given building and reconstruction works as works of public utility of national interest will enable to swiftly purchase the privately owned plots that will be crossed by the line. The plots belong to 745 owners and are to be bought at market prices, for an estimated 262,000 lei.
