Réunion High-Voltage Transmission Line Reconstruction

Beskrivelse: Omexom rebuilds critical high-voltage lines in Réunion after Cyclone Garance, enhancing electricity grid resilience and supporting renewable energy integration. Les mer ↧

Reconstruction of key transmission lines

Following the severe damage caused by Cyclone Garance in February 2025, Omexom was contracted by EDF Réunion to reconstruct critical high-voltage transmission infrastructure in the cyclone-prone eastern region of Réunion Island. The project includes rebuilding two strategic transmission lines totaling 10 kilometers, connecting Abondance to Rivière de l’Est and Abondance to Sainte-Rose, ensuring reliable power supply for local communities.

Installing cyclone-resistant towers

The reconstruction involves the erection of 33 modernized high-voltage towers and installation of approximately 40 kilometers of conductors. These towers, significantly more robust than their predecessors, are designed to withstand cyclonic wind speeds up to 210 km/h. The project also addresses the replacement of several standing towers to create a consistent and resilient transmission corridor, with adaptation to local geographic and climatic conditions including foundations and access routes.

Advanced construction with skilled workforce

Construction began in January 2026 with peak workforce deployment of up to 95 specialized personnel using advanced methods such as drone- and helicopter-assisted cable stringing in challenging areas. The project is scheduled for completion by March 2027, with phased energizing of the new lines by October and December 2026. Extensive collaboration with local stakeholders has been key to minimizing disruptions throughout the project timeline.

Enhancing grid resilience and sustainability

This infrastructure modernization not only restores the damaged network but enhances its resilience against future cyclones, while supporting Réunion’s energy transition goals. The new high-voltage lines will maintain stability and integrate renewable energy from the 82 MW Rivière de l’Est hydroelectric plant, which contributes about 60% of the island’s hydroelectric generation, thus ensuring a reliable and sustainable energy future.
