Neoenergia has just started the commercial operation of the Jalapão Transmission Line
LT 500 kV Miracema – Gilbués II – Barreiras II
A LT 500 kV Miracema – Gilbués II – Barreiras II is now the largest extension of the company in operation in the segment
with 728 kilometers passing through the states of Tocantins
The project was acquired in Lot 4 of Auction 02/2017
carried out by the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) in December 2017
and was energized 15 months in advance of the regulatory body's contractual forecast
The function of this Line is to expand the transmission network to expand the energy exchange between the North and Northeast regions
facilitating the flow of energy generated by the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Power Plant (PA) – an asset that has the participation of Neoenergia and
The energization of the Jalapão Line marks the delivery of all projects acquired by the company in auctions held in 2017
adding RAP (Allowed Annual Revenue) of R$ 217 million
" We deliver all projects with anticipation of deadlines and strategic and efficient use of resources
we contribute to the development of the Brazilian electricity sector
assisting in the safety and reliability of the system for the expansion of renewable energies
we generate jobs and income in the areas where weoperate," says Fabiano Uchoas
capacitor benches were installed in series with the LT 500kV Gilbués II – Barreiras II
equipment that serves to - increase the transmission capacity and the flow of energy
especially in long Transmission Lines such as jalapão - are 416 kilometers in the first stretch and 312 kilometers in the second
The project also included the expansions of the Miracema (TO)
Gilbués II (PI) and Barreiras II (BA) substations
three times the distance from Oiapoque (AP) to Chuí (RS) or an extension greater than the distance between São Paulo and Moscow
The steel used totals more than 15,000 tons
The project also resulted in economic and socio-environmental benefits for the local population
Neoenergia promoted the solution of an environmental liability from works paralyzed around the Transmission Line
of structures abandoned on site for more than five years
The initiative allowed the environmental recovery of the stretch
allowing the area to resume its previous natural conditions
and was authorized and accompanied by Ibama (Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources)
"All actions are aligned with Neoenergia's corporate purpose of stimulating sustainable development in our areas of operation
We generate more than 2,000 jobs at the peak of the works
solve the environmental liability and create a strategy for the reuse of structures andmaterials"
implementation manager of neoenergia's Jalapão project
Approximately 4,000 foundations were removed from an uncompleted Transmission Line
enough to castarate approximately 24,000 square meters of streets or roads
The inert material was applied in the accesses to the towers in the municipalities crossed by the Transmission Line
enabling improvements in the roads throughout the municipalities affected by the project
was converted into the purchase of more than 900 basic baskets for donation to people in vulnerable situations
Neoenergia has been expanding its investments in Transmission. The company has
among assets in operation and under construction
more than 5,000 kilometers of lines spread in 13 states of the country
R$ 1.5 billion in investments was allocated to the segment
There are six projects in licensing and construction
with emphasis on the last projects acquired:
held by ANEEL in December 2020 – which provides for the construction of 1,091 km of Transmission Line
Lot 04 of Auction 02/2021 held by ANEEL in December 2021 – which is composed of a 500 kV Estreito substation
and has three synchronous compensators -300/+300 Mvar
