The three sectioning-transformer substations for the O’Higgins Region will be built with AIS technology, Main plus Transfer Bus-Bar arrangement, and will include distribution metal-clad MV switchgear rooms.

The projects to be developed in 7 months are:

• ‘Fuentecilla’ 66/15 kV – 30 MVA power substation
• ‘Puquillay’ 66/13.2 kV – 16 MVA power substation
