It is the company’s largest build since the 1950s. “The new substation will allow us to maintain our supply to customers if we are doing planned maintenance or if there is an unexpected outage.” Horgan said the substation would be completed in July and was part of a bigger capital programme. “We are spending about $140m over the next 10 years. We have in the past three years, doubled our capital programme, investing a lot more in the network, replacing old equipment and building resilience.”
