JERSEYVILLE Ameren Illinois announced Wednesday it is preparing to start Phase 2 of a two-year project designed to enhance energy service reliability, flexibility and load capacity of the company’s local electric grid for customers in Jersey and Macoupin counties.
In March electricians will begin making equipment upgrades to Aneren’s Jerseyville, Piasa Junction and Brighton substations. The firm is adding high-voltage switching components to each substation to potentially reduce the duration of an outage allowing the company to re-route power between the three substations.
The company is also expanding the Brighton and Piasa Junction substations. The investment is estimated at $7.9 million.
