The city councils of Reus and Castellvell del Camp started works in 2026 to bury 1.43 kilometers of high-voltage lines to improve the El Pinar residential area.

Excavations began in January to lay underground cabling and remove eight high-voltage towers located near homes. The total investment reaches 3.5 million euros, with 2.4 million provided by the Catalan Institute of Energy (ICAEN).
