NEMa: energy planning and grids for decarbonising Magallanes

Technical advice to make energy planning in Magallanes robust and consistent with its territory, as green hydrogen arrives and heating and transport electrify.

Objective

Purpose

Within the Technology Hub for New Energies in Magallanes (NEMa), CENTRA produced quantitative evidence on when and where grid reinforcements will be needed, how smart technologies can make better use of existing capacity, and which investment sequence avoids abrupt tariff increases.

Work streams

Scope
01

Large-scale planning

Technical counterpart for the planning model led by VTT (Finland): validation of methods, data and scenarios, and capacity transfer to local teams.

02

Last-mile studies

Hosting capacity of the EDELMAG distribution grid under heating electrification (individual, district or hybrid heat pumps).

03

E-mobility

Impact of electric vehicle uptake on local grids and measures to absorb it.
