PPC blue and Dedeman expand electric mobility infrastructure in Romania

Business Forum
 PPC Blue Romania, part of the PPC group in Romania, has signed a partnership with Dedeman, a Romanian-owned DIY retailer, for the installation and operation of electric vehicle charging stations across Dedeman's national store network, both existing and future locations.

PPC blue will install charging stations in over 60 Dedeman stores and in two logistics warehouses, where stations dedicated to electric trucks will be located. The network will exceed 600 charging points, with a total installed power of over 30 MW. The around 60 charging points already existing at Dedeman locations will be integrated into the PPC blue app. The first stations will be installed in Câmpulung Moldovenesc, Roman, Alexandria, Târgu Jiu and Onești, starting in December, with installation completed in 21 stores by the end of 2026.

"Charging an electric car should be as simple as a visit to the store. We want every electric vehicle driver in Romania to have a charging station within reach, regardless of the city they live in. Together, we reach places where people are already going," said Andreea-Dana Popescu, General Manager of PPC Blue Romania. "Expanding the electric mobility infrastructure through our collaboration with PPC blue is a natural step in a society where sustainable solutions are becoming increasingly important. We invest constantly in long-term projects, focused on people's comfort, community development, and environmental protection," said Dragoș Pavăl, President of Dedeman.

In Romania, PPC blue operates over 1,100 charging points across all counties, with a total installed power of more than 36 MW.
