Iberdrola España commissions a new substation in Plaza de España

Iberdrola España, the Group's subsidiary in the country, through i-DE, its distributor in Spain, has commissioned the first feeders that supply distribution centres from the new substation that the company has built in the underground tunnels of Plaza España. 

Specifically, this substation, whose mission is to transform the voltage from 132kV in the grid to 15kV in the distribution network, will supply 26 distribution centres located in strategic locations in the capital. 

This project has been a major challenge due to its unique location, which has complicated the processing of the work, the complexity of the permits and its execution, due to the high volume of pedestrian and vehicle traffic, and the materials used, including historic paving stones that have been reused as far as possible.
