PPC Blue to install fast chargers on Romanian motorway

Greek charging provider PPC Blue continues to expand in Romania, and is now installing and operating 30 fast-charging points along Romanian highway A7 in cooperation with Romanian oil company Oscar Downstream. Nearly half of the charging points will be suitable for electric trucks and buses.

This is already the third time this year that we are reporting on PPC Blue’s expansion plans: In May, the subsidiary of Greece’s power utility Public Power Corporation (PPC) announced plans to install 106 fast and ultra-fast charging points at 34 strategic locations along key European transport corridors in Romania and Greece. In June, this was followed by a partnership with the Romanian DIY chain Dedeman: The plan is to install more than 600 charging points at Dedeman’s stores and logistics centres across the country.

Now, there’s a partnership with Oscar Downstream: the oil company, which also operates a franchise network of fuel stations, previously secured a tender to operate managed service areas on Romanian motorway A7 near Milcovul in both directions of the carriageway. The concession for this runs for 30 years.

PPC Blue enters the picture for the charging infrastructure at these service areas: The company is to handle the installation and operation of the charging stations for the aforementioned 30 years. A total of 30 fast charging points are involved. 16 of these charging options for electric cars have already been installed by the motorway operator, each offering a power output of at least 150 kW. PPC Blue will commission them once the concession agreement comes into force.
