In order for construction to begin on the substation, the school at Coal Harbour would have to be built first to serve as a temporary replacement school for Lord Roberts Annex students.
BC Hydro is funding the construction costs of both the new Coal Harbour school, which will become much-needed expansion capacity for the city centre, and the new replacement Lord Roberts Annex at the rebuilt park over the substation.
