The new substations will be remotely controlled through CEMIG’s distribution operations center. The new substations will have an integrated supervision, command, control, and protection system, allowing operators to carry out necessary interventions on high-tension equipment remotely.
Approximately R$ 66 million will be invested in various modernization projects for the existing 8 substations and 11 distribution lines, aiming to integrate the Varginha 4 substation of the Mantiqueira Transmission Network into CEMIG’s energy distribution system. This investment will provide greater operational flexibility, allowing for better circuit division.
