Jupille-Romsée

Dismantling of an overhead line following improvements to the Liège grid

Rimière-Ougrée

Optimisation of the Liège grid

The project involves the dismantling of the 70 kV overhead line that currently connects Jupille substation to Romsée substation. Due to the changes to Elia's Liège grid and the end of life of some of the elements that make up this line, it is no longer useful and can now be dismantled.
The line is 5.4 km long and crosses Jupille-sur-Meuse (City of Liège) and the municipalities of Fléron and Beyne-Heusay. The security of the region's electricity supply will continue to be guaranteed by the meshing of the Elia grid.

    Guaranteeing the safety and reliability of infrastructure

    As part of its role as Belgium's high-voltage system operator, Elia must continually ensure the safety and reliability of its infrastructure. Accordingly, some lines need to be upgraded and others, dismantled. The decision to dismantle a line is taken when it is deemed no longer necessary for the operation of the grid or when it reaches the end of its service life. This is the case with the Jupille-Romsée line.

    Guaranteeing security of supply

    The security of the electricity supply is guaranteed by the meshing of Elia's grid and the various upgrades recently carried out on the Liège grid to meet the region's changing requirements. The reorganisation of the Liège grid, which is currently under way, will enable Elia to rationalise its infrastructure in the region.

    Elia pays particular attention to the proper execution of its works and the environment in which these are carried out. Procedures are put in place for each stage of the work, making it possible to limit the impact on fauna, flora, mobility and local residents.
  • Schedule
    Dismantling work is expected to take a total of one year, starting in October 2024.
