The three large very high voltage lines that were to cross the territory to bring electricity from Aragon to Catalonia will not be built. The largest of the three, which was to cross the Tarragona district to connect Valmuel (Teruel) with Begues (Baix Llobregat) through a 287 kilometre cable (151 of them in Catalonia), has been rejected because it has not received a favourable report from the Generalitat of Catalonia, as published by the Official State Gazette (BOE) on Monday, February 10. That line alone envisaged the construction of 475 towers up to seventy meters high (like a 20-story building) to support the wiring. The line that was to transport electricity from Almudébar (Huesca) to Isona (Pallars Jussà) also does not have the approval of the Generalitat, so it will not be built either. There is a third line, which was also to cross Tarragona to bring the electric current to Rubí, on which the Generalitat has no say and only needs authorization from the Ministry for Ecological Transition. Even so, all the sources consulted take it for granted that it will not go ahead either. "If the territory does not want them, it is very difficult for them to prosper," acknowledge sources close to this process, which dates back to 2021.
