Red El\u00e9ctrica has announced that it will begin dismantling the 66kV line between Corralejo and Matas Blancas in early 2027<\/p>\n
The Cabildo de Fuerteventura and representatives from Red El\u00e9ctrica have held a meeting as part of the roadmap for dismantling the old 66kV power line between Corralejo and Matas Blancas. The president of the island council, Lola Garc\u00eda, and the Councillor for Spatial Planning, Nereida Calero, met with Red El\u00e9ctrica’s Director of Infrastructure in the Canary Islands, Daniel P\u00e9rez Varela, Redeia’s delegate in the Canary Islands, Ainara Irigoyen, and the project director for the dismantling work, Pablo Garc\u00eda Cel\u00e1a, in order to share the information available and learn the details of the dismantling process, which is mainly determined by the environmental and construction criteria of each area.<\/p>\n
As Lola Garc\u00eda pointed out, \u201cthis is the largest dismantling of a power line ever carried out in the Archipelago, which is why it is important to hold coordination meetings to finalise its removal, now that Red El\u00e9ctrica has awarded the works contract, and to ensure that it is carried out with the utmost respect for the environment\u201d.<\/p>\n
Garc\u00eda also expressed the Cabildo’s commitment to maintaining \u201cfull administrative cooperation, also relying on the support of the town councils, to speed up the authorisations and permits needed to comply with the requirements for its removal\u201d.<\/p>\n
For her part, Nereida Calero highlighted the importance \u201cnot only of restoring the occupied land to its natural state, given its impact on the landscape, biodiversity and our natural resources, but above all so that affected residents can regain use of the land after waiting for so long\u201d.<\/p>\n
During the meeting, Red El\u00e9ctrica representatives announced that, in coordination with the Cabildo, dismantling of the 66kV line between Corralejo and Matas Blancas will begin early next year, now that the administrative process for authorising the line’s decommissioning and dismantling has been completed.<\/p>\n
The line will be dismantled in accordance with a set of preventive and corrective environmental measures to ensure that the removal work has as little impact as possible on the surrounding area, restoring the land to its original condition.<\/p>\n
Before the works begin, which will last 18 months and will affect various areas across the municipalities of La Oliva, Puerto del Rosario, Antigua, Tuineje and P\u00e1jara, Red El\u00e9ctrica will inform landowners jointly with the Cabildo and other authorities.<\/p>\n
The dismantling work on the 66kV line between Corralejo and Matas Blancas has already been awarded and involves the removal of 352 pylons and their conductor cables, the de-tensioning and removal of conductor and earth cables, the dismantling of structures, the collection of conductors, earth cables and insulator strings, the demolition of foundations, the removal of leftover civil works materials and, where applicable, the bases of the old pylons, as the main tasks involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
