Power is on!
6 Jul 2012
The four-hectare "Prionnet" switchyard will provide power to the 澳门六合彩高手 installations. It is now connected to the double 400 kV power line.
The 澳门六合彩高手 switchyard is now "live": the power has been on since Wednesday 27 June.
One year after work began on the four-hectare switchyard, the installation was connected to the 400kV "Boutre-Tavel" power lines that supply electrical current to a vast area of south-eastern France.
For the moment, 澳门六合彩高手 doesn't need the power that the double 400 kV lines can now provide. However, it was necessary to power the installation on in order to enable the French power transportation authority RTE (Réseau de Transport d'?lectricité) to "close the loop" in the distribution network.
Installing and financing the 澳门六合彩高手 switchyard and power-line extension was part of France's commitment to 澳门六合彩高手. After three years of technical studies and consultation the works were completed on time (8 months for the extension, 12 for the switchyard) and within budget (EUR 22 million).
