New Line Was Acquired by the Company in Lot 2 of the December 2018 Auction and Has Operational Synergy with Another Project Under Construction in the Southeast Region
In an official statement to the press today (15), Neoenergia obtained the installation license that authorizes the construction of the transmission line and substation that make up the Guanabara project. The enterprise was acquired by the company in lot 2 of the auction held by the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) in December 2018. The document was issued by Ibama (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources).
The transmission line will be 328 kilometers long, with a double circuit, and a voltage of 500 kV. Additionally, a new substation, Campos 2, will be built, and two other substations will be expanded: the Rio terminal and Lagos. All assets are located in Rio de Janeiro.
The project has operational synergy with another Neoenergia project, the Itabapoana line, which is under construction between the states of Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, and Rio de Janeiro. Combining the two lots, there are 567 kilometers of lines.
