The Directorate of Ports, Maritime Affairs and Coastline, under the Department of Food, Rural Development, Agriculture and Fisheries of the Basque Government, has announced the request made by the company I-DE Redes Eléctricas Inteligentes, S.A.U. to occupy the public maritime-terrestrial domain to install a duct for a 30-kilovolt electrical line on a bridge over the Dumboa channel. The announcement was published in issue number 191 of the Official Gazette of the Basque Country on October 6, 2026, in the “Other official announcements” section, with official reference 2026/4132. The decision was signed in Vitoria-Gasteiz by Director Koldobika Goitia Markuerkiaga on September 14, 2026.

What the company is requesting

The request was made by the company I-DE Redes Eléctricas Inteligentes, S.A.U., with the aim of occupying the public maritime-terrestrial domain through a duct attached to a bridge over the Dumboa channel. This duct is part of a 30-kilovolt direct current electrical line, specifically within the project titled “Modificación de la línea aérea de 30 kilovoltios de corriente continua, 3035-1 Irun – Circunvalación Circuito 1 y 2, entre los apoyos n.º 9024N y n.º 9027”. The official reference of the file is 2026/009609-CNC.

The project aims to adjust the route of the overhead line between supports 9024N and 9027, which requires the occupation of the public maritime-terrestrial domain via a duct attached to the bridge structure. The affected infrastructure is located in the municipality of Irun, Gipuzkoa.

Public information process

The announcement cites Article 74 of the Law 22/1988 Coastal Law and section 8.a) of Article 152 of the Royal Decree 876/2014 regulation as its basis. Accordingly, the request is opened for public consultation for a period of twenty (20) business days, during which the documentation comprising the file may be consulted and any appropriate allegations or observations may be submitted.

The documentation will be available through two channels: via a Basque Government website and at the offices of the Directorate of Ports, Maritime Affairs and Coastline of Gipuzkoa, located at 23 Muelle promenade, first floor, Donostia (20003).

This process is standard for projects affecting the public coastal domain. In recent weeks, similar announcements have been published, including requests for the operation of the canteen at Malkorbe beach in Getaria or the regulation of the football field in Busturi, all processed by the same directorate.

Where and how to send allegations

Allegations and observations shall be submitted in accordance with the mechanisms established by Law 39/2015, via the electronic General Registry. Therefore, interested parties must use the telematic route in this procedure.

Impact on the Irún electrical infrastructure

The announcement directly affects the electrical infrastructure of Irún, as it concerns a section of the 30 kV line that crosses the bridge of the Dumboa channel. The project aims to adjust the route of the overhead line, which requires the occupation of the public maritime-terrestrial domain through ducting attached to the bridge structure.

Likewise, making the file public allows citizens and affected organizations to learn the technical details of the project and make observations before decisions are taken regarding the public coastal domain.

Conclusion

Once the period of twenty business days has ended, the Directorate of Ports, Maritime Affairs and Coast of the Basque Government will analyze the submitted allegations and make a decision regarding the request. Meanwhile, the file will be available for consultation both via the web and in the Donostia offices, ensuring transparency in an infrastructure project that affects the public coastal domain.
