en.Wedoany.com Reported - Minister of Energy and Mines, Waldir Ayasta Mechán, presided over the groundbreaking ceremony for the "New Trujillo Central Substation Transmission Service" project, which aims to meet the growing residential, commercial, and industrial electricity demands in the La Libertad region.

The project plans to construct a substation and a 138 kV branch transmission line to improve the power supply quality and ensure energy security of the Trujillo power system. During the ceremony, the Minister emphasized that these modern infrastructure developments align with the growth pace of this provincial capital city.

The project will ensure reliability and quality of power supply, and expand the supply capacity at 22.9 kV and 10 kV voltage levels, guaranteeing the growing electricity demand within the project's impact area through rational and efficient use of energy resources. With an investment exceeding 26 million soles (S/ 26 millones), the project helps ensure a continuous, robust, and secure power supply.

The substation will be located in the El Alambre area of the Trujillo district, adopting GIS (Gas-Insulated Switchgear) encapsulation technology, and will be connected via a tap from the 138 kV Trujillo Northwest-Trujillo South transmission line. The project also includes intelligent systems, digital communications, and automation technology using Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) for more efficient control and monitoring.
