Fisher 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 Fisher Road Substation. This project will support interconnection of new renewable resources 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?
Our Fisher Road Substation is located on Fisher Road in Dartmouth. Upgrades to the substation include:
- Replacing two transformers
- Installing new foundations, trenching and conduits
- Installing new switchgear enclosure
- Installing a new chain link mesh fence, similar height to existing
