en.Wedoany.com Reported - Red Eléctrica, the Spanish power system operator, is expanding the Peñaflor substation located in Villamayor de Gállego, Zaragoza province, to enhance power transmission capacity and meet future demand. The main scope of this project involves the installation of a new transmission transformer.

With an investment of 10 million euros, the expansion project aims to strengthen the main power supply infrastructure for the city of Zaragoza and its metropolitan area. This region is home to over 800,000 residents and hosts significant industrial zones. The work also includes the construction of two new bays at the 400 kV switchyard, which will later connect two large users to attract new investments to the area.

The expansion of the Peñaflor substation is part of a partial modification to the current plan approved in April 2024. This modification, endorsed at a Cabinet meeting, is binding on Red Eléctrica and has driven the development and expansion of multiple substations across the three provinces of Aragon. The substations involved include Espartal 220 kV, Ave Zaragoza 220 kV, Esquedas 220 kV, Montetorrero 220 kV, Magallón 400/220 kV, Plaza II 220 kV, Mudéjar 400 kV, Cartujos 220 kV, and Villanueva de Gállego 220 kV.
