Socio-environmental aspects

Actions

• Utilization of GIS and SVC (Static Var Compensator) technologies, a unique initiative in the country, in the construction. GIS isolates equipment with gas and allows for compact assets. SVC contributes to the quality and safety of the power supply by controlling voltage.
• The combination of these two technologies has optimized the space used, providing environmental benefits.
• Recycling of 85 tons of solid waste generated during construction, with approximately 35% of the wood being repurposed for new uses.
• Use of drones for cable installation, as well as modifying the route and using aerial lines in mountainous regions to avoid cutting native vegetation and minimize environmental impact.

Understand the Environmental Licensing Process

The installation of a new transmission system can alter the natural landscape. Therefore, we conduct Environmental Impact Assessments to evaluate alternatives for preventing, reducing, and mitigating environmental impacts, such as searching for alternative areas for project installation.

With this perspective, we plan management actions that include defining mitigation measures, environmental control plans and programs, and initiatives to enhance positive impacts.

Some of the actions we undertake in this area include:

According to the licensing process and its conditions, different operational measures are defined and implemented to mitigate impacts on biodiversity.

Some highlights include:

• Modification of the transmission line routes and substation locations to avoid interference with conservation areas or areas of interest for traditional communities;
• Elevation of towers and cable placement using drones to minimize the need for vegetation clearing;
• Technical management and oversight of contractors hired for construction and infrastructure services;
• Implementation of reforestation and forest restoration projects;
• Monitoring programs for local wildlife before, during, and after project implementation;
• Adoption of environmental programs to raise awareness among local communities and populations.

All our operations adhere to best sustainability practices. Learn how we approach this topic.
