A 15 kV network between two substations

The installation will connect the «FTE_PALME» line, 15 kV, coming from the CARLOTA substation, with the «HS_AFRICA2» line, coming from the POSADAS substation, by means of a new link between support A556440X and distribution center CD 102122, in the San Carlos and La Africana areas. The main figures of the project are:

• 59 meters of new underground medium-voltage line (LSMT) in single circuit, with conductor RHZ1 3x240 mm² Al 18/30 kV.
• 4,038 meters of overhead medium-voltage line (LAMT) with LA-110 conductor in single circuit.
• 30 new lattice supports: 19 of type C-2000-18-TB, 6 of C-3000-18-TB, 2 of C-4500-TR-18-TB and one of each of the types C-4500-18-TB, C-4500-16-TB and C-3000-16-TB.

Affected properties and owners

Annex I of the announcement lists 24 plot entries, several with sub-plots, most in polygons 12, 13 and 14 of Guadalcázar (areas San Carlos, Santa Claudia, Madroñeros and Molino Bajo) and one in polygon 2, plot 4, of Fuente Palmera (La Africana).

Deadline and how to file objections

The public information period will remain open for 30 business days from the day following the publication of the notice. The file may be consulted on the participation portal of the Andalusian Government and at the offices of the Territorial Delegation at Plaza de la Constitución, second floor, in Córdoba, by prior appointment at telephone 955 041111. Objections shall be submitted to the General Electronic Registry of the Andalusian Government or to any administrative registry and, until the prior record is drawn up, those affected may request the correction of errors in the list of assets, in accordance with article 56.2 of the Regulations of the Forced Expropriation Law. The announcement is dated in Córdoba on July 27, 2026, and is signed by the territorial delegate, Agustín López Ortiz.

The publication is the first official notice for the owners of the affected plots, who will see easements established over their properties and, in the case of the supports, the expropriation in full ownership. The declaration of public utility makes Edistribución Redes Digitales SLU the beneficiary of the expropriation and enables urgent occupation, so those who wish to defend their interests must appear within the objections period. The work, framed within the improvement of the medium-voltage grid of the region, reinforces the security of supply between Guadalcázar and Fuente Palmera.
