The Encuentro-Lagunas transmission line, spanning 192 km between Pozo Almonte and María Elena, is a vital addition to the Norte Grande electrical system. With a capacity of 443 high-voltage towers and operating at 220kV and 500 kV, this double-circuit line alleviates congestion in existing transmission lines while enhancing overall system efficiency.
Valued at over US $100 million, the project includes the expansion of the Encuentro and Lagunas substations. Skipper supplied Plex 1:500kV A/C and 220kV A/C towers 47,174.07 MT for Interchile’s Obras Nuevas STT DS 115-2011 transmission line project – designed – 13 (5 towers for 220kV & 8 towers for 500kV) and has carried out load testing for 12 new tower types for the project, a monumental endeavour in shaping the nation's power future.
The Obras nuevas stt ds 115-2011 transmission line project stands as a testament to collaborative efforts in advancing power transmission infrastructure. By leveraging state-of-the-art technologies, and industry expertise, this initiative not only addresses immediate challenges but also lays the foundation for a resilient and sustainable energy future. With its completion, the Norte Grande region is poised to enjoy enhanced reliability and efficiency in electricity supply, fostering economic growth and prosperity.
