Slovakia, Bratislava, Vajnory: The Slovak Electricity Transmission System (SEPS) has begun construction of a new 400 / 110 kV substation in Vajnory, Bratislava, as part of the EU-funded Danube InGrid project, the company announced. The new substation aims to address the growing electricity demand driven by the rapid population increase in the Bratislava region.
The Danube InGrid initiative, launched in 2020, is a collaborative smart grid project involving SEPS, Západoslovenská distribučná, and E.ON’s Hungarian subsidiary. Recognised by the Slovak government as a project of national significance, it focuses on strengthening cross-border grid integration and improving regional energy efficiency.
Once completed, the Vajnory substation will serve as a key energy hub, connecting the transmission and distribution systems. Equipped with advanced smart grid technologies, it will enhance infrastructure reliability, boost transformation capacity, and support the capital region’s sustainable growth.
“The Vajnory substation will help maintain high-quality and secure electricity supplies in a heavily utilised area like Bratislava and its surroundings, where the rising population increases energy demands,” said Martin Magáth, Chairman and CEO of SEPS. “The Danube InGrid project, which includes this construction, is crucial for the future of energy, significantly strengthening our country’s electricity system.”
