The work included installing a new substation at Litherland with power transformers and requisite electrical equipment, as well as creating an 8 km 132,000 volt grid connection at Aintree, reports Liverpool Echo.
The work has more than doubled the power capacity of the port from 20 MVA to 50 MVA.
The upgrade was required as part of Peel Ports’ plan to create a £300 million ($452 million) new container terminal that will more than double Liverpool’s container capacity.
