CTEEP maintains an Emergency Response Plan applicable to transmission lines in the event of collapsing metallic structures and failure in the electric system. This Plan entails logistics information and procedures for restoration of transmission lines, aimed at minimizing the impact on the electric power system, as well as assuring employees` safety and health.
With the purpose to ensure refreshing and updating of the Emergency Response Plan, the Company offers regular training to the maintenance teams, including the necessary procedures as regards the communities, authorities and industrial customers.
CTEEP also keeps the public authorities and regulatory bodies informed on the details of such events, as well as on the restoration schedules, so as to receive their approval and enable them to monitor the progress of the preventive or corrective action plans. Disclosure of such information is provided by the press relations agency to the various communication media and posted on the Company`s website.
Moreover, the Emergency Response Plan covers the events of environmental nature, by means of a system for the registration of occurrences. Such events are generally restrained within the boundaries of the substations and do not imply risks to the surroundings.
