Red Eléctrica, Redeia's subsidiary responsible for the transmission and operation of the electrical system in Spain, has completed the expansion of the 400 kV Requena substation, a vital step for progress in the Platea-Requena line. When commissioned, it will optimise the grid meshing and reinforce the guaranteed supply for a more sustainable and efficient system.

The expansion of Requena 400 kV represents an investment of 4.5 million euros by Red Eléctrica.

The Platea-Requena section, which is part of the corridor connecting Aragón and the Valencian Community, is currently in administrative processing. With a budget of 86 million euros, its 157 km route runs through the provinces of Teruel, Cuenca and Valencia. The future line will reinforce the 400 kV grid and make the electricity supply more dependable and efficient, decisively strengthening the supply for residents and businesses in the region. 

The project is included in the Electric Energy Transmission Grid Development Plan 2021-2026 that was approved by the council of ministers and is a binding commitment for Red Eléctrica.
