Adif and Adif Alta Velocidad are working on various initiatives to enhance the availability of electric traction across conventional, metric gauge, and high-speed rail networks, supporting sustainable mobility.

Adif has issued a tender for a 1.3-million-euro contract to support the commissioning of fixed and mobile traction substations, with a 36-month completion period.

The contract encompasses activities such as assembly and disassembly of mobile substations, commissioning tests for new and refurbished fixed substations, maintenance of out-of-service mobile substations, and improvements to the maintenance base for mobile substations in Madrid. Adif Alta Velocidad has awarded Electren a contract worth just over one million euros to supply a mobile substation that will temporarily replace fixed substations on the high-speed network currently under construction.

Initially, the mobile substation will be installed at the Hornillos substation for refurbishment and expansion before moving to substations on the Madrid-Seville high-speed line, which is undergoing a comprehensive upgrade. Mobile electric traction installations, including substations and feeder wagons (or paralleling units), play a critical role in infrastructure maintenance by supporting fixed installations during refurbishments and situations requiring rapid energy supply intervention.
