Safety represents one of the central pillars of E.ON Romania Group’s responsibility towards communities. For the second consecutive year, the “Detector for Life” campaign was supported in partnership with Delgaz Grid, the Department for Emergency Situations (D.S.U.), and the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (I.G.S.U.).
As part of the program, almost 10,000 families across Romania benefited from free installation of 7,480 smoke detectors and 2,500 carbon monoxide detectors. The campaign was carried out in 20 counties, with the support of firefighters, focusing mainly on rural households where risks are higher.
The counties included in this year’s program were: Arad, Bacău, Bihor, Bistrița-Năsăud, Botoșani, Brașov, Buzău, Cluj, Covasna, Iași, Mureș, Neamț, Prahova, Satu Mare, Sălaj, Sibiu, Suceava, Timiș, Vrancea, and Vaslui.
For the second year in a row, 10,000 detectors were installed free of charge, confirming both the necessity and the positive impact of this initiative.
These simple yet vital devices can make the difference between life and tragedy. They provide early warning in the event of a fire or carbon monoxide leak, offering precious time to protect lives and reduce damage.
“Investment in people’s safety is the most important investment for communities. The ‘Detector for Life’ campaign demonstrates once again that responsibility extends beyond energy supply—it is also about being a trusted partner in protecting lives and homes in Romania,” stated Volker Raffel, CEO of E.ON Romania.
The campaign is part of the “Together for Safety” partnership, launched in 2012 with I.G.S.U. and D.S.U., through which dozens of national awareness and prevention projects have been implemented.
Beyond the numbers, the mission is clear: reducing risks and raising public awareness of potential dangers associated with energy use. According to I.G.S.U. statistics, more than 6,800 fires broke out in Romanian homes in 2024, many caused by faulty chimneys, improvised electrical installations, or unsafe heating systems. In this context, each detector installed represents a real chance to save lives.
