Start of works
Following the granting of planning permission on 26 July 2024, work to reinforce the Gramme-Rimière 380 kV overhead line will begin on 19 August 2024.
It will be carried out in three main phases:
- First, the teams will carry out reinforcement work on the pylons, including the replacement of pylon No. 2 and pylon No. 27.
- Next, the second three-phase transmission line will be installed.
- Finally, a line-cable transition substation will be created at the Gramme substation (in Huy).
What is a three-phase transmission line?
It is an electric circuit, a set of three electricity transmission conductors (commonly known as ‘cables’) that make up a three-phase overhead line.
The conductor is the element through which electricity circulates on an electrical grid. A conductor is one of the three phases of the three-phase circuit.
