The EHV Chignolo Po-Maleo power line, between Pavia and Lodi presented. The electricity grid in Lombardy is a step ahead.
Terna presented the project and the building activity for the “Chignolo Po-Maleo” power line between Pavia and Lodi before the Undersecretary for Economic Development Stefano Saglia and with reports by Terna’s Chairman Luigi Roth.
After the “San Fiorano-Robbia” power line between Italy and Switzerland – completed in 2005 – and the “Turbigo-Rho” electricity line (2006) just outside of Milan –that entered into operation in 2006 – another important infrastructure was presented for transferring electricity in Lombardy that is a step ahead for the grid in one of the country’s most critical areas.
These are the numbers of the new “energy highway” whose work in progress is nearing completion between the power stations in Chignolo Po (PV) and Maleo (LO):
Over 70% of the power line’s route built with low environmental impact futuristic “single-pole” tubular pylons, over 25 million euros a year saved for the national electricity system, 64 km of old lines removed for a total of 225 pylons, over 250 million euros invested and 400 megawatt more of energy.
