West Pond Substation Expansion

Why Are We Doing This Project?

We determined after an extensive study that integration of additional clean energy into the electrical grid in the Plymouth area requires upgrades to our West Pond 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.
