Generalitat authorizes Red Eléctrica for the 220 kV Eliana-Quart line

The Generalitat has authorized Red Eléctrica de España, SAU to modify the 220 kV Eliana-Quart de Poblet overhead electricity transmission circuit in section 238-241, within the municipal terms of Manises and Riba-roja de Túria. The decision was signed by the Director General of Energy and Mines, Antonio Miranda Bonet, via a resolution dated August 27, 2026. The text is published in the Diari Oficial de la Generalitat Valenciana number 10491, dated November 11, 2026, in section III of administrative acts, with the official reference DOGV-C-2026-33074.

Prior and construction authorization in a single act

The resolution, processed under file ATLIRE/2025/278/46, grants two distinct enabling titles: the prior administrative authorization and the administrative construction authorization. The application was submitted by the company on July 1, 2025, with registration number GVRTE/2025/3096533, and was accompanied by the execution project for the overhead circuit dated June 2, 2025, and the responsible declaration of the competent technical person.

The competent body is the Directorate General of Energy and Mines, under the Third Vice-Presidency and Department of Environment, Infrastructure, Territory and Recovery, as the installation is located entirely within the territory of the Valencian Community and is not included among the cases reserved for the General State Administration by article 3.13 of Law 24/2013, of December 26, on the electricity sector. The processing complies with Decree 88/2005, of April 29, and Royal Decree 1955/2000, of December 1, as it concerns a secondary transmission network installation.

Technical characteristics of the action

The project configures a limited intervention on supports and conductors, with the following specifications detailed in the official text:

• Nominal voltage of 220 kV.
• Dismantling of existing supports 239 and 240.
• Assembly and hoisting of new supports 239N and 240N.
• Stringing of new phase conductors 242-AL1/56-ST1A (HEN) between both supports, with a total length of 0.344 kilometers in a duplex circuit, with dampers on all conductors and duplex spacers.
• Adjustment of HEN duplex conductors in the spans between supports 238 and 239N, and between supports 240N and 241.
• Execution budget: 619,788.08 euros.

The resolution declares that the action is not included among the cases subject to environmental impact assessment according to Law 21/2013, of December 9, and sets a period of 24 months for the execution of the installation, after which the operating authorization must be requested.

Public consultation without allegations and sectoral reports

The file was subject to public consultation for twenty days in DOGV number 10400, dated July 8, 2026, without any allegations being received. The file also includes the prior and binding favorable report from the Director General of Energy Policy and Mines, signed on April 23, 2026. The pronouncements of the affected administrations and entities were as follows:

• Provincial Council of Valencia, roads area: favorable report dated August 29, 2025, and Decree 8392 dated July 2, 2026, for the works on the CV-370 in Manises, with reference DVAC26AO0282.
• State Aviation Safety Agency (AESA): communication dated August 25, 2025, canceling the request due to lack of jurisdiction; subsequently, the aeronautical easement agreement from file L25-0173 was provided, signed on May 29, 2026, and submitted on July 8, 2026, which authorizes the two supports and the use of a mobile crane under specific conditions.
• i-DE Redes Inteligentes, SAU (Iberdrola): conformity signed on August 28, 2025.
• Manises City Council: favorable report from the technical services dated September 1, 2025, file 2454610F.
• Riba-roja de Túria City Council: resolution dated September 19, 2025, authorizing the modification regarding urban planning regulations.

Effect on supply and means of appeal

The authorization does not exhaust the administrative route: an appeal for reversal (recurso de alzada) may be filed against it before the Regional Secretariat of Environment and Territory within one month from the day following its notification, according to articles 121 and 122 of Law 39/2015. The permit is granted without prejudice to other required public or private licenses, authorizations, and permits, especially those regarding land use and environment, and its non-compliance or substantial variation of conditions may lead to revocation.

Section 238-241 of the Eliana-Quart de Poblet circuit is part of the secondary transmission network that feeds the València metropolitan area; therefore, the replacement of supports and the installation of new conductors in the corridor between Manises and Riba-roja de Túria directly affects the reliability of the industrial and residential supply of the l’Horta region. The intervention is small-scale, with less than 350 meters of new wiring, but it is executed on a 220 kV infrastructure affecting two municipalities and a regional road, which explains the accumulation of sectoral reports contained in the file.
