No, of course. BT is definitive here, and NEEDED. Because this being a big project, they very probably have an MT supply too, so which one is being referred to must be specified.
Eileen Brophy (asker) Jul 6, 2008:
Media tension If BT = Baja tension then media tension would not be applicable in this context surely?

This is the first phase of a big project for a factory making steel machinery for public works projects.

There is a full translation:

"Supply service line connection". But in this case you should add LV, thus:

Not sure (not enough context) as to whether "BT" in the original is superfluous. If this is a normal "acometida", it should always be in BT (or LV), which is what ALL domestic consumers get. Of course, big factories and even big shops might get their supply in "media tensión", and have a transformer "in-house".
