Works will be performed by Synergy Construct – as a leader, Else Enerji Anonim Sirketi – a third party, Graphein Topo – a subcontractor; ZORK is a subcontractor; Eds Electric SRL is a subcontractor.

The term of the investment is 120 days, of which 30 days are the design stage and 90 days are the execution of works.

The value of the contract is 75.1 million lei (excluding VAT), part of the funds are provided through grant funding through the Operational Program of Large Infrastructure.

According to Koliban, Brasov has set itself an ambitious goal: to reduce carbon emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
