en.Wedoany.com Reported - Red Eléctrica has initiated the expansion of the 400/220 kV Magallón substation, located in the town of Magallón, Zaragoza province, with an investment of €11.3 million. The project aims to enhance local power transmission capacity, improve supply security, and support future industrial demand in Zaragoza province.

As a subsidiary of Redeia responsible for the operation and transmission of Spain's electricity system, Red Eléctrica will add a new 400/220 kV transformer and construct one new bay in each of the 400 kV and 220 kV switchgear areas to improve the facility's operational efficiency within the transmission network.

This expansion is part of efforts to strengthen power infrastructure amid increasing economic and energy activities. The additional capacity is expected to meet new industrial demands while facilitating the integration of renewable energy generation into the system. As a renewable energy evacuation node, the substation plays a key role locally, helping to accommodate new sustainable generation capacity and adapt the grid to scenarios with a higher share of renewable energy resources.

In addition to serving as an evacuation node, the Magallón substation is interconnected with other power infrastructure in the Aragon region. This interconnection strengthens the transmission network's grid structure, enhancing the robustness and reliability of the regional system.

The now-launched works are included in the current planning framework. Under this framework, Red Eléctrica has promoted the development and expansion of multiple substations across the three provinces of Aragon, including facilities such as Espartal 220 kV, Ave Zaragoza 220 kV, Esquedas 220 kV, Montetorrero 220 kV, Peñaflor 400/220 kV, Plaza II 220 kV, Mudéjar 400 kV, Cartujos 220 kV, and Villanueva de Gállego 220 kV.
