The National Electricity Company (ENDE) Corporation, advances in the construction of its second transmission line at 500 kilovolts (kV), called "Carrasco – Las Brechas y Subestaciones Asociadas". This important project, located from the department of Cochabamba to Santa Cruz, will strengthen extra-high voltage electrical transportation to the eastern region of the country and will allow Bolivia to electrically integrate with Brazil.

The execution of the project is in charge of ENDE Transmission. To date, the assembly of the line reactors at the Carrasco and Las Brechas substations has been completed, which represents a general progress of 86%.

This line has an approximate extension of 188 kilometers and connects the central and eastern areas of the National Interconnected System (SIN), constituting an energy corridor that will strengthen the electrical network and guarantee a reliable supply for industry, health, education and growing populations. that increased their demand in recent years.

Upon completion, the Carrasco – Las Brechas power line at 500 kV will meet all the technical characteristics so that the National Government, through ENDE Corporación, can undertake interconnection projects with neighboring countries, allowing Bolivia to export electricity to countries such as Brazil, positioning itself as a key player in the regional energy market.

The engineering and labor used in the construction of this project in its two components (line and substations) is carried out entirely by Bolivian professionals, as a result of the constant training carried out by ENDE Transmission to its technical staff on transportation issues. electrical, which allows teams to be formed with specialized and trained personnel to undertake this type of work.

ENDE Corporación will continue to promote high-impact electrical projects. With its second 500 kV transmission line, Bolivia takes a giant step towards a more prosperous and sustainable energy future, encouraging regional energy integration.
