The interest of regional and international companies in Montenegrin Power Transmission System (CGES) is an important indicator of the company’s quality and its position in the overall market, the Ministry of Economy told Dnevne novine newspaper.

CGES invested EUR 11 million, accompanied by construction of substation Podgorica 5, worth almost EUR 2 million.
