UNICOM ENDE 19-10-2023.- The National Electricity Company (Ende Corporation) advances in the Construction of the “Transmission Line in 500 KV Carrasco – Gaps and Associated Substations”, being the second electric transmission line in 500 kV of Bolivia.This line of extra high voltage, will allow strengthening the electricity supply in the departments of Cochabamba and Santa Cruz, in addition to Provide the transport capacity necessary for the export of electricity.

The project includes the construction of a transmission line of 186.30 kilometers long, From the Carrasco substation, located in the municipality of Entre Ríos of the Carrasco province of Cochabamba, to the Brechas substation, located in the Cordillera province of the Department of Santa Cross.

This work will allow the creation of a large capacity for electricity transport, which will interconnect the eastern and central areas of the National Interconnected System (SIN), strengthening the Electric supply in the Bolivian East Region, will also allow the surplus of Generation in the collector node gaps for export.

The project is in full execution, with an important advance in the construction of foundations of line structures, which quantified add up to 427 reticulated metal structures that will form This electric transport work.

This particular project consolidates the capacity of Bolivian professionals, since the totality of the line and the associated substations, it is built with engineering prepared by transmission and National labor is used in construction.This milestone shows that Bolivian professionals They have the necessary capabilities to face the construction of projects in extra tension along with his colleagues in neighboring countries.

Ende Corporation will continue working to strengthen the national interconnected system, not only to strengthen the electricity supply for Bolivians, but also to advance projects of export of electricity, policy promoted by the national government that seeks to interconnect to Bolivia with neighboring countries.

Ende transmission, a subsidiary of Ende Corporation, as part of preventive maintenance, made High voltage bushing change work and transformer oil leaks correction 8th-5 of the Trinidad substation, with the objective of guaranteeing the reliability of the supply of electricity to the capital of the department of Beni.

This power transformer is of vital importance for the city of Trinidad, since this It feeds much of the electric demand of the Trinitarian population.If the importance of a power transformer, the maintenance of this equipment is very necessary to Reduce the risks of incidents, breakdowns and false shots, in addition to prolonging its useful life, fact that allows the proper functioning of the electricity grid.

The works were coordinated with the department of maintenance of substations.In the place Special equipment was counted to perform this type of maintenance and personnel support specialized technician.The de -negization of the unit was necessary to give a solution definitive to the observations found, in compliance with the technical and corresponding security, together with the verifications and surveys that are required in these cases.
