Jupille-Romsée
Dismantling of an overhead line following improvements to the Liège grid
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.

Benefits to societyGuaranteeing 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.
