The Cardones-Polpaico project
TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION PROJECT
The project aims to increase the transmission capacity of the Cardones-Polpaico high-voltage line, located 50 km from Santiago de Chile.
The 753 km Cardones-Polpaico transmission line project is divided into three sections:
-
Nueva Cardones – Nueva Maitencillo
-
Nueva Maitencillo – Nueva Pan de Azúcar
-
Nueva Pan de Azúcar – Polpaico
The line crosses Chile from north to south.
This transmission line is Chile’s largest energy infrastructure project of the last 50 years.
It uses a 500kV double-circuit line and a total of 1,728 towers.
It gives Chile a more efficient electricity market, with greater security of supply, greater sustainability and, above all, lower costs.
