Alpena Power Company Vice-President Matt Cameron explains how a substation in Alpena operates. There are a pair of transformers that reduces the level of power coming to it, before redistributing it into the community, and ultimately into people’s homes. The company said power can go out if an issue with a transformer surfaces, or bad weather causes power lines or poles to collapse.
