In collaboration with Adnkronos. 2 km of overhead lines and 6 power line supports will be completely dismantled Castelluccia - San Sebastiano, thus freeing up 5 hectares of land. The work began in Naples, in the Ponticelli district, with the demolition of a section of the 220 kV overhead power line which also winds through the municipalities of Cercola and San Sebastiano al Vesuvio.
The demolition is made possible by the completion of a new underground cable power line approximately 7 km long between the Castelluccia electrical station and the San Sebastiano primary cabin. The work, for which Terna has invested 16,5 million euros, has increased the efficiency of the local power supply, adapting it to the growing energy demands associated with the extensive residential and industrial development in the area.
“This demolition was made possible thanks to the construction of a new XLPE cable power line, a new technology cable that has allowed for greater energy efficiency in the area and above all has greatly improved the safety of the electrical system,” explains Antonio Limone, responsible for the design and construction of plants for Terna's Central-South Territorial Directorate.
The complex of interventions falls within, as foreseen by the protocol signed in 2020 by Terna and the municipality of Naples, in the broad reorganisation plan, currently underway, of the metropolitan area's electricity grid. The implementation of the plan will make the energy transmission service more efficient and sustainable by replacing old cables with new generation ones. The agreement also includes the demolition of 10 km of 60 kV overhead power lines in the city of Naples, which will free up approximately 25 hectares of land from the impact of existing electrical infrastructure.
In Campania Terna manages approximately 3.500 km of high and very high voltage lines and 60 electrical stations. As part of the 2021-2025 "Driving Energy" Industrial Plan, the company will invest over 1 billion euros in the region for the development and resilience of the regional electricity grid, in line with the energy transition in which the company is a key player. These important interventions will also have a significant impact on the regional economic fabric. involving over 350 companies and 1.500 workers.
