69 kV/15 kV substation

The substations on Ibiza are interconnected together with Elvissa Power Station over a 69 kV-ring running from Elvissa Power Station via Torrent, Santa Eularia, Sant Antoni and Sant Jordi. Beside this, there is a connection between Torrent and San Antonio. Since 2007 a 69 kV-cable with a capacity of 50 MW connects the powergrid of Formentera with that of Ibiza. The terminals of this cable are Torrent and Formentera Power Station. From Torrent a 132 kV three phase AC link to Santa Ponsa, Mallorca is under construction (capacity 2 x 100 MV).
