Remote-control Transformer Station: New Network Hub for Increased Power Supply Stability

The E.ON Hungária Group has established a fully automated, remotely operated transformer station in Veszprémvarsány. The new 132/22 kV facility replaces the former 35/22 kV substation, thus significantly increasing the region’s network capacity, and the reliability and flexibility of the network. This advancement improves the power supply for approximately 16,000 residential customers and also enables the connection of 1,000 solar panel households to the grid. The new substation connects to the 64-kilometre transmission line section between Kisbér, Veszprémvarsány, Zirc, and Litér.

The new substation incorporates a modern, automated control system that ensures rapid fault detection, which not only provides customers with a more stable and predictable energy supply, but also reduces the risk of network disruptions and service outages. The new infrastructure will also facilitate the connection of additional industrial- and high-energy consumers to the grid in future.

The HUF 2.2 billion investment is part of the Danube InGrid project, a series of cross-border initiatives supported by E.ON and the European Union, which aims to strengthen the regional network and support the integration of renewable energy sources.
