Spanish Grid Company Invests €2.5 Million in Line Capacity Expansion

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Red Eléctrica has completed the capacity expansion of the 400 kV Aragón-Escatrón line, increasing the capacity of the existing infrastructure by 76%, aiming to enhance power transmission capacity between the provinces of Teruel and Zaragoza. The project, with an investment of €2.5 million, focuses on a 12.6-kilometer line section traversing the municipalities of Castelnou, Escatrón, and Sástago, connecting the Aragón substation in Castelnou with the Escatrón substation.

This project, undertaken by Red Eléctrica, a subsidiary of the Redeia group, primarily involves replacing line conductors and raising three towers. The upgrade optimizes the use of existing infrastructure without altering the basic line corridor, while enhancing the transmission capacity of this axis of the Aragón high-voltage grid. The capacity increase is particularly important for the operation of the power system at the interconnection point between Teruel and Zaragoza, expanding the transmission capacity of this 400 kV line and enabling the infrastructure to adapt to anticipated demand under current planning.

Alongside the power engineering work, Red Eléctrica has installed bird protection devices along most of the line section, aiming to reduce risks to birds, in line with the sustainability plan objectives of its parent company, the Redeia group. This capacity expansion is part of the current power transmission network plan, which was approved by the Council of Ministers and is binding on Red Eléctrica's actions regarding the power transmission network.
