Cross Road Substation Upgrade
Why Are We Doing This Project?
We determined after an extensive study that integration of additional clean energy into the electrical grid in the Dartmouth area requires upgrades to our Cross Road Substation. This project will optimize system stability and improve reliability.
This work is part of a larger initiative focused on electric system enhancements to maintain reliability and enable distributed energy resource (DER) facilities to safely interconnect and operate.
Where Is This Work Being Done?
Upgrades to our Cross Road Substation on Cross Road in Dartmouth will take place within the existing substation fence boundaries and include:
- Installing two three-phase series reactors
- Installing new foundations
- Trenching, to install new conduits
- Relocating the existing capacitor banks within the substation
