Installing a high-voltage substation can be a profitable investment if you consume a lot of electricity.

Electric vehicle charging points, for example, can be very energy intensive. Depending on the situation, a charging point can consume up to 22 kW or more. If you want to install several electric charging points in your building or business, it may be worth investing in a high-voltage substation.

So if you have a low-voltage connection and consume over 150 MWh each year, installing a high-voltage substation could save you several thousand euros on your energy bill.

Of course, this is an estimate that may vary according to your consumption profile. To get a better idea, you can run a simulation of the distribution costs based on your connection type and electricity consumption.

However, installing a high-voltage substation is a significant investment. In addition to the cost of purchasing and installing the substation, there are also fees for connecting it to the network. See here to find out the rates for a new high-voltage connection.
