Electricity transmission

A pioneering, complex, and exceptional project that crosses the Pyrenees through an 8.5-kilometre tunnel that doubled the electricity exchange capacity with France. 

This is a milestone for its singularity and technical complexity. Today, it connects the Balearic system with the one on the mainland, strengthening supply security and advancing the decarbonisation of the island. 

The future link, which we are developing, will be a turning point for the ecological transition of the Canary Islands. On the one hand, it provides the capacity to cover the island of La Gomera's total demand, and allows the integration of a new renewable quota from La Gomera into the Tenerife system.

A link that decisively improves the security and quality of the supply of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura and facilitates their progress in the energy transition. Its commissioning has demonstrated the need to continue advancing in these essential infrastructures for the Canary electricity system.

This submarine interconnection covers total peak demand of the island of Formentera, reducing to the maximum its dependence on fossil fuels and making progress in the practical decarbonisation of electricity generation on the island.

This link enabled the union of the two existing electricity systems in the Balearic Islands, connecting them to the Iberian and European electricity markets through the connection with the mainland. The twin link posed a technological challenge as it was the longest and deepest AC link in the world when it was constructed.

Commissioned in 2020, it integrated the entire Balearic archipelago into a single interconnected electricity system. The submarine cable plays a substantial role in the energy transition process proposed for Menorca and the Balearic Islands as a whole.

We present the first 400 kV underground line, an internationally recognised project.
