It is planned to renovate 1,700 kilometers of low- and medium-voltage power
lines and to renovate or build new 600 transformer substations.

power lines, customer density and electricity consumption in the particular
area as well as the suggestions by local governments and customers.
The company will also continue introducing digital technologies and
solutions in its operations and is urging its customers to make active use of
the online services available on its website.

The project that is to be completed by 2020 includes revision of operational
