A subsidiary of Spanish energy giant Iberdrola said it has energized a major transmission line installation in Brazil.
Neoenergia on January 10 said the company has completed the final section of the Alto Paranaíba Project. The group said it represents Iberdrola’s largest transmission project in Brazil, and one of that country’s biggest electricity delivery initiatives. The 1,600-kilometer (994 miles) transmission line features 3,250 towers, and has six substations along its route.
Neogenergia said the project “significantly boosts power transmission capacity between the northern region of the state of Minas Gerais and São Paulo.” São Paulo is the largest city by population in Brazil, with more than 20 million residents in its metropolitan area.
