Red Eléctrica, Redeia's subsidiary responsible for the transmission and operation of the electrical system in Spain, has commissioned the new Cerdà 220 kV sub-station. The purpose of this sub-station is to promote the energy transition, revitalise the economy, and provide electricity to the industry in the region.

The Cerdà sub-station is fed by three new lines: Cerdà-Hospitalet, Cerdà-Airport, and Cerdà Zona Franca, the construction of which was completed in December. Overall, the project has involved a total investment of 36 million euros and has been executed within a time frame of 14 months.
All these infrastructures are included in the Electricity Transmission Grid Planning 2021-2026, approved by agreement of the Council of Ministers on 22 March 2022. The goal of these initiatives is to improve the supply in the territory, boost the economy, and progress in the energy transition process.
