In the municipality of Alpiarça, E-REDES has started work on the project to build the new Alpiarça substation and the respective high voltage (HV) and medium voltage (MV) network, electrical infrastructure with an estimated investment of 3.5 million euros, which will supply more than 3,000 residential customers and around 30 business customers.
Construction of the new Alpiarça substation, an E-REDES infrastructure that will integrate the national electricity system, has already begun and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2024. The work began with the preparation of the respective platform and is currently in the construction phase of the various civil infrastructures and the control building needed to complete this electrical installation.
In addition to the new substation, which will have an initial installed capacity of 20 MVA, the HV network will also be built, which will feed the substation and the entire new MV network, which will interconnect with the existing one, improving the quality of service for the consumption of the municipalities of Almeirim and Alpiarça.
For the construction of this substation and electricity distribution network, in addition to the entire internal structure involved in managing and carrying out this project, E-REDES will have the involvement of several business partners.
These new infrastructures are part of the company's policy of investment and maintenance in the electricity network, the main axes of which are improving the supply of electricity, increasing the resilience of the network, renewing and rehabilitating assets, automation and digitalization in network management, along with measures to optimize operations.
