centro de transformación:
1 CT compuesto por celdas de protección, seccionamiento y contaje, y 4 transformadores de 1250 KVA, tensión primario 25 KV y secundario 3 x 398/230 V 50 Hz.
Totally stuck on this, so there'll be more questions.
This CT is in a hotel. Just can't seem to hit on a good transaltion. Transformer centre seems to be Spanglish.

transformer substation
This facilities are usually called transformer substations.
Most customers in the electrical market get their energy at the distribution voltages 220V or 110V. Some big customers, on the other hand, get it at medium-voltage levels (usually 13,200V) ahd transform it to distribution voltages using their own transformer substations. This way they get a lower rate.
