Rio De Janeiro's Olympic Park Electricity To Be Supplied By R$152M Substation

After 12 months of construction and an initial investment of R$152M from the Brazilian Ministry of Mines & Energy, Rio de Janeiro's Olympic Park will have its own electrical substation to "generate electricity during the event," according to GLOBO ESPORTE. The substation will "ensure the supply of energy to the new arenas and installations which compose the Olympic Park." The energy will be "distributed through the means of electrical feeder panels." The substation's total potential is "enough to supply a borough of 43,000 people." After the Olympic and Paralympic Games, construction will begin on the substation in order to also "integrate Rio de Janeiro's west zone's energy supply system" (GLOBO ESPORTE, 7/3).
