New Energy Transformers in Sumaré (SP)

The goal of Enel’s works is to expand the supply capacity of the Sumaré substation by 20 Megavolt Ampere (MVA). Technicians will replace three 15/20 MVA transformers with two 32/40 MVA transformers.

Additionally, they will also install a digital protection and control system so that the Sumaré substation can operate remotely by the Distribution Operations Center of the utility in Barueri (SP). According to Vincenzo Ruotolo, responsible for Infrastructure and Networks at the utility, Enel SP’s project for the expansion and implementation of new technologies at the Sumaré substation will contribute to enhancing the reliability of the energy system while also keeping pace with consumer market growth in the region.

Furthermore, the project, which will create numerous jobs, aligns with the digitization process of Enel SP’s electric grid. The project promises to generate various jobs and will also allow the electric grid in the region to accompany the growth of the consumer market, encouraging socioeconomic development in São Paulo.

With increased energy capacity, the neighborhoods will be able to accommodate new commercial establishments and residential buildings. Enel SP’s project also includes the reconstruction of three kilometers of the distribution network.
