Electric Power System of the Balearic Islands

Description of the electric power supply of the Balearic Islands.

Menorca

On Menorca just a single power plant exist at Mahon ( Maó ) at 39°53′49″N 4°15′31″E / 39.89694°N 4.25861°E / 39.89694; 4.25861 (Mahon ( Maó ) Power Station). It has a net generation capacity of 245 MW. From it 2 132 kV-lines run to Dragonera substation.

132 kV/15 kV-Substations

Beside the connection between Mahon ( Maó) power station and Dragonera substation, there is a 132 kV-line interconnecting the following substations.

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).
