Transelec rebuilds Coquimbo transmission line after flooding washes out 10 towers
  • Transelec is rebuilding the Maitencillo–Las Compañías transmission line in Chile’s Coquimbo region following flood damage from a severe storm system.
  • Rising waters in the Quebrada de Los Choros river, near Trapiche, destroyed about 10 transmission structures, disrupting a key backup link in the national grid.
  • Power supply in the affected area has been fully restored and delivered to distribution companies, shifting the focus to permanent reconstruction.
  • Work is scheduled to be completed by Aug. 15, following initial access constraints caused by Route 5 Norte closures.
