This is stated in the documentation for the new electrical distribution substation S.E. Llano de la Pasiega, a 220/55/12 kV system, processed by the General Directorate of Industry, Energy, and Mines under file AT-99-2025 and published in the Official Gazette of Cantabria number 187, of September 29, 2026 (CVE-2026-7399).

According to that file, the purpose of the substation is to “guarantee the electricity supply to the new Regional Interest Project (PSIR Llano la Pasiega)” and its location is defined in plot ST1, with cadastral reference 39052A306150400001XS, already classified as industrial land. The project is promoted by Viesgo Distribución Eléctrica, S. L. (NIF B62733159).
