La Puebla de Híjar opens its new electrical substation for public review

The City Council of La Puebla de Híjar has opened the hearing and public information process for the special authorization file to construct a 45/15 kV electrical substation and renovate the 45 kV switchyard on non-developable land within the municipality. The decision was formalized through Mayoral Resolution No. 305, dated September 15, 2026, and published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Teruel No. 181, dated September 22, 2026, under reference 2026-2669. Interested parties have a period of 20 days to appear and submit allegations.

The announcement is headed with the official name of the project: “SUBESTACIÓN 45/15 kV LA PUEBLA DE HIJAR NUEVA POSICIÓN 45 kV Y REFORMA PARQUE 45 kV”. This concerns the initial approval of a special authorization file for constructions on non-developable land, a procedure that requires the application to be submitted for public information before its final resolution.

The installation is projected on a plot classified as generic non-developable land, located in the municipality of La Puebla de Híjar, in the province of Teruel. The file is being processed by the municipal technical services, and its processing is published both in the provincial gazette and on the city council’s electronic office.

Location and file data

The identifying data contained in the official announcement are as follows:

• Cadastral reference: 44202B504001830001JZ
• Polygon: 504
• Plot: 183
• Location: PROV DE POL.504 PARC.5102 EL BOLAR
• Postal code and municipality: 44510 La Puebla de Híjar (Teruel)
• Land classification: generic non-developable land
• Purpose: 45/15 kV substation, new 45 kV position, and renovation of the 45 kV switchyard

The action therefore combines the commissioning of a new 45 kV position with the renovation of the existing switchyard at that same voltage level, in addition to the 45/15 kV transformation substation itself.

Deadline and channels for participation

The process is open for a period of 20 days starting from the publication of the announcement and is addressed to those who may consider themselves interested parties in the file. During this period, they may:

• Appear in the procedure.
• Submit allegations, suggestions, or claims.
• Consult the documentation at the municipal electronic office, accessible at http://lapuebladehijar.sedelectronica.es

The announcement itself specifies that it will serve as notification to interested parties in the event that personal notification of the granting of the hearing process cannot be carried out. The document appears electronically signed in Híjar, without an explicit date other than that of the resolution that drives it.

A context of electrical expansion in the province

The processing coincides with other energy actions published in the same provincial bulletin. In the same issue 181, there is the initial approval of the accession file of the Obón City Council to the “Obón Energía Cooperative Society,” reference 2026-2712, and the special authorization file for a communications base station in Puertomingalvo, reference 2026-2692.

On a provincial scale, the development of larger electrical infrastructure has also been recently reflected in the bulletin. The Official Bulletin of the Province of Teruel of August 18, 2026, published the resolution granting Red Eléctrica de España, SAU the administrative construction authorization for the 400 kV double-circuit overhead transmission line between the Mezquita substation and the Platea substation, with a declaration of public utility, reference 2026-2432.

The new substation of La Puebla de Híjar is located at a lower voltage level, typical of the distribution network, but responds to the same logic of reinforcing the electrical capacity of the territory.

Impact for owners and for the area

The opening of the public information period is the procedural moment in which the owners of affected lands and any person with a legitimate interest can examine the project and oppose or qualify it before the city council resolves. Since it involves generic non-developable land, special authorization is an essential requirement for the installation to be executed.

For the municipality, the action means consolidating and expanding the available electrical infrastructure, which affects both the quality of the supply and the capacity to accommodate new industrial, agricultural, or residential uses in the area. The 20-day period makes this announcement the only formal window for participation before the resolution of the file.
