400 kV grid · Reșița node
The infrastructure preceded the project.
The Transelectrica 400/220/110 kV node at Reșița was upgraded in 2024–2025. Three 400 kV corridors converge with four EU PCI designations. The project was located to be adjacent to this grid — not the other way round.

Installed ≠ Available
What 650 MVA does and does not mean.
650 MVA installed
Transformer equipment physically installed, tested and energised. Transelectrica's investment — complete.
Available connectable MW
Depends on existing loads, N-1 contingency and new consumers. Only the formal ATR determines this figure.
50–200 MW indicative
Based on node scale and upgrade history. Informational only — binds nobody. ATR closes the gap.
