The new electrical equipment will include power transformers, circuit breakers and relays, according to ACE spokesman Frank Tedesco.
The new substation, which is part of the 27-km project from Middle Township to Stone Harbor and Avalon and back to Middle Township, will supply all of Stone Harbor’s power by 2018.
