Frank Hajdinjak, CEO of E.ON Romania, said the campaigns lead to a reduction of incidents and victims. He added that the modernization of the gas and electricity role sustains the fall in such events.

Next year, the company has an investment program between EUR 90 to EUR 95 million for gas and electricity modernizations.

The company has invested EUR 1 billion since entering the local energy market in 2005 in revamping the grids.
