E-REDES put the new Arganil substation and respective high (HV) and medium (MV) voltage network into operation. The electrical infrastructure, with an investment of 3.7 million euros, will now supply around 4 thousand residential customers and 20 business customers.
Besides the new substation, with an initial installed power of 20 MVA, the HV network that feeds the substation and the entire new MV network, which will interconnect to the existing one, were also built.
For the construction of this substation and electricity distribution network, E-REDES relied on the involvement of several business partners, in addition to the entire internal structure involved in the management and implementation of this project.
These new infrastructures are part of the Company's policy of investment and maintenance in the electricity network, with the main axes being the improvement in the supply of electricity, the increase in network resilience, the renovation and rehabilitation of assets, automation and digitalization in network management, along with optimization measures in operations.
E-REDES is the EDP Group company responsible for operating the electricity distribution network in Mainland Portugal, in Low (LV), Medium (MV) and High Voltage (HV).
