Expropriation in Abegondo: drawing up of preliminary records for the 400 kV substation

The Government Delegation in Galicia, through its Industry and Energy Area, published in the Official Gazette of the Province of A Coruña (number 169, of September 4, 2026) the notification announcement regarding the drawing up of records prior to the occupation of the properties affected by the construction of the new 400 kV substation in Abegondo. The announcement, signed on August 31, 2026, summons the interested parties to be notified by appearance in file GAL/15/EE/2023/2.

The action is part of an expropriation procedure by declaration of public utility, which calls for the drawing up of records prior to occupation and the submission of allegations, solely for the purpose of correcting possible errors in the list of assets affected by urgent occupation, under article 52.2 of the Forced Expropriation Law of December 16, 1954, and article 56.2 of its Regulations.

A key infrastructure for the electrical grid

The new 400 kV substation, described as having “eight new positions,” constitutes a strategic infrastructure for the reinforcement of the electricity transmission network in the region. File GAL/15/EE/2023/2, processed by the Industry and Energy Area under the direction of Francisco J. Filgueira Rodríguez, is thus advancing in the phase of occupation of the lands necessary for its construction.

For the affected owners, the announcement represents an opportunity to regularize their situation and present objections regarding possible errors in the list of assets, within a limited period of ten days. Once operational, the infrastructure will reinforce the capacity and security of the electricity supply in the area, in a context of increasing demand and integration of renewables.
