ERM West to invest nearly 10 million euros in Blagoevgrad power grid

ERM West, part of the Electrohold group, has announced plans to invest approximately 10 million euros into the electricity distribution network in the Blagoevgrad region during 2026. The announcement followed a meeting between Electrohold management and local authorities to improve coordination and emergency response.

The planned investments include 3.8 million euros for connecting new customers due to regional construction and expansion, 1.1 million euros for medium-voltage facilities, and over 500,000 euros for the low-voltage network. Additionally, 3 million euros are allocated for the mandatory periodic replacement of electricity meters, while 1.5 million euros will be used to acquire energy equipment for more efficient grid management.

To prevent power outages and accidents, particularly during adverse weather, the company will continue maintenance work on vegetation and easement zones around overhead power lines.
