Thank you to our own Steve Ewing for providing these updated photos of the Cape May Substation Reliability Project, which PS&S designed.
As written by Atlantic City Electric, “The Cape May Substation Reliability Project upgraded the company’s existing substation in Cape May with more modern equipment and increased capabilities. As part of the 20-month, $46 million project, a second transformer was added to meet the growing energy needs of customers in the area, with particular focus on the summer months when residents and visitors push energy demands to the highest levels.”
“The new, state-of-the-art facility is better equipped to prevent animal intrusion and reduce the impacts of more extreme weather by raising the facility several feet above flood zone, helping prevent storm-related outages and adding modern substation controls with remote operating capabilities during a storm. The project, which benefits more than 7,100 customers in Cape May, also further improves energy service quality for local customers by creating a more reliable and resilient connection between the regional transmission system and the local energy grid.“
