Romania's largest energy company, OMV Petrom, has announced that it will invest 8 billion lei (€1.6 billion) in 2024 and in each of the next two years, more than double the average investment of 3.5 billion lei in 2017-2021, Romania-insider.com reported.

 

 

The investment growth is mainly due to the company's participation in the offshore Neptun Deep gas project in the Black Sea, which has one of the largest natural gas fields in the EU, with an estimated cost of EUR4 billion (19.89 billion lei).

 

In addition to the funds earmarked for the development of Neptun Deep, a large part of the investment will be used to diversify OMV Petrom's operations into more sustainable areas.

 

When it comes to electro-mobility, the company is on track to become the biggest player in Romania. At the end of 2023, OMV Petrom had around 270 charging points in Romania, Bulgaria and Serbia. Earlier this year, the company signed an agreement to acquire Renovatio Asset Management, owner of the largest electric vehicle charging network in Romania, with more than 400 charging points and growth prospects to around 650 by 2026.
