Utilities company Enel Romania has opened a first remote control center called Telecontrol, for the Muntenia region south of the country, following investments of around EUR 90 million. The new center will allow Enel's technicians in Bucharest and the neighboring counties of Ilfov and Giurgiu run all the control maneuvers online. The program will continue in the following years, when Enel Distributie Muntenia's all main stations – over 40 pf them – will be remotely controlled. The new system allows the company to run inspections for various electricity problems without sending out teams on the field.

Italian Enel has been active in Romania since 2005. It is currently the largest private investors in the energy sector in Romania, active in electricity distribution and supply and in energy production from renewable resources. It is 4,700 employees in Romania and 2.6 million customers in the Muntenia Sud, Banat and Dobrogea regions – one third of the local distribution market.
