It includes the installation of four high-capacity shunt reactors, which play a critical role in maintaining grid reliability by absorbing excess energy that may increase voltage levels, especially in extensive transmission networks or under low-demand conditions. This contributes to strengthening grid stability and ensuring safe and efficient energy delivery to users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From an environmental perspective, the use of vegetable oil reduces the carbon footprint associated with materials by up to 20% and lifecycle emissions by approximately 11%. Additionally, vegetable oil significantly improves environmental safety due to its high biodegradability, reducing ecological risks in case of leaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This advancement aligns with ISA ENERG\u00cdA in Brazil\u2019s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, with intermediate reduction targets of 60% by 2040 and 90% by 2050, reinforcing its role in advancing the energy transition across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe implementation of this technology represents a milestone in electricity transmission in Latin America, demonstrating that operational reliability, innovation, and sustainability can be successfully integrated into critical infrastructure. Replacing petroleum-based inputs with renewable alternatives reinforces ISA\u2019s commitment to a clean energy transition, aligned with its Strategy 2040,\u201d said Gabriel Melguizo, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isaenergiabrasil.com.br\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ISA\u2019s<\/a> Vice President of Energy Transmission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The project, implemented at the Bauru substation (S\u00e3o Paulo), is part of a system modernization plan backed by an investment of approximately USD 33 million from Brazil\u2019s National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL).
