Endesa renews the electrical line in Priorat with €315,000 to improve service for 2,375 customers

Endesa has invested 315,000 euros in renewing a medium voltage electrical line in Priorat to guarantee a more stable service to 2,375 customers from 13 municipalities. This action has combined technology and respect for the environment, using a helicopter to avoid heavy machinery in protected areas.

Priorat, with its rugged and protected landscapes, needs tailored solutions. This upgrade not only ensures supply but also focuses on sustainability and the modernization of a key infrastructure for the region.

Technical and environmental improvement of the line in Priorat

How has the renovation been executed and why does it matter?

The intervention replaced 72 deteriorated wooden supports with new fiberglass ones, materials much more resistant to adverse weather conditions. The result? A stronger and more durable line that minimizes interruptions.

The support of a helicopter was key to overcoming the rugged terrain without accessing with heavy machinery, protecting a sensitive natural environment and avoiding impacts that could have affected the territory.

Which municipalities benefit?

The 2,375 affected customers are spread across thirteen municipalities: Bellmunt del Priorat, Cabacés, Falset, la Figuera, Gratallops, el Lloar, el Molar, la Morera de Montsant, Poboleda, Porrera, Torroja del Priorat, la Vilella Alta, and la Vilella Baixa.

These villages will see improved quality and continuity of electrical service, an essential element for daily life and local economic activity.

Local impact and future outlook

Why is it relevant for the neighbors of Priorat?

Residents will notice fewer outages and a network better prepared for climatic adversities, which can be frequent in this area. This energy security is vital for the region, with its complicated and scattered territory.

Moreover, modernization helps limit the environmental impact, a key value in an area with as much ecological sensitivity as Priorat.

What are the keys to making this renovation a success?

The combination of advanced technology (fiberglass supports) and innovative logistical strategy (use of helicopter) has allowed an efficient construction without harming the natural environment.

It is a model that can pave the way for future actions in areas with similar difficulties.
