Patricia Rabano Luzano

At Lightsource bp, I lead grid connections for utility-scale renewable projects from feasibility through energisation, shaping capacity assessments, technical risk reviews, and long-term grid planning.

I define and optimise HV interconnection solutions, including substations, shared infrastructure, and power-transformer procurement across EMEA projects. I also lead Grid Sharing Agreement negotiations and coordinate TSOs, DSOs, EPCs, OEMs, permitting, commercial, and engineering teams to secure bankable grid access.

Previously at X-ELIO, I led HV interconnection infrastructure for projects in Spain and Italy, preparing CAPEX/OPEX estimates and reviewing substation and HV-line solutions against applicable standards and TSO requirements.

My electrical engineering background includes MV systems, substations, overhead and underground lines, BESS, and PV plants. I bring end-to-end transformer oversight from tendering and manufacturing review through site integration and commissioning readiness.
