Spain, Malaga: Endesa has announced an investment of $246 M (€204 M) over the next three years in the distribution networks in the province of Malaga.
More than $97 M (€80 M) of that sum will go to develop and improve the electrical network to increase the quality of the supply to Malaga customers.
This investment also means creation of more than 590 jobs throughout the province of Andalucía.
The investment effort will focus on the distribution networks, facilitating the transition towards renewable energy and it will focus its efforts on improving the digitization, reliability, resilience, flexibility and efficiency of the province’s distribution network, which has a total of 10,792 transformation centres, 65 substations and 25,103 km of lines.
One of the axes of Endesa’s strategy is to use the tools provided by digitization to improve the quality of supply, which leads to allocate $50 M (€42 M) in Malaga to the automation of the medium voltage network and the installation of remote controls, that reduce the time to restore electricity service in the event of an incident by allowing remote control to be carried out and restoring the supply – this has been the subject of one of the main complaints against Endesa.
In addition, $46.5 M (€38.50 M) will be allocated to reinforce and expand the high and medium voltage network, including the modernization of nine substations in the province of Malaga with the installation of communication systems for their integrated management and the commissioning of four new transformers. The goal is to advance in the continuous path of improvement of supply quality, with a reduction of TIEPI (equivalent interruption time of installed power) by 25 % until 2023 and 30 % until 2030.
