Slovakia: The new 110/22 kV Borský Svätý Jur substation has been recently commissioned in Slovakia.
The substation was constructed as part of the ACON Smart Grids PCI (Project of Common Interest), which includes a large-scale implementation of smart technologies, resulting in the most modern 110/22 kV remote-controlled substation in Slovakia.
The commissioning event was an important milestone for the project and, more specifically, for the region as this substation will significantly improve the security of supply and the regional quality of service increasing the cross-border capacity at the distribution level of the Slovak and Czech grids. In addition, the Borský Svätý Jur substation is equipped with cutting-edge smart technologies, which will support the integration of RES and electrical vehicles.
“The ongoing energy crisis shows the importance of European solidarity in energy. Cross-border energy flows and energy infrastructures which serve more than one country are key components. The ACON project shows that through support from CEF Energy, we can boost such key infrastructure projects. We welcome the completion of the Borský Svätý Jur substation, which is an important milestone in the implementation of the ACON project and strengthens regional energy security in the Záhorie region, as well as neighbouring regions,” said Ona Kostinaitė-Grinkevičienė from CINEA.
