The $48 million project includes the installation of voltage-regulating equipment – power transformers, capacitor banks, circuit breakers, communications equipment and a small control building, the utility said in a statement.
This voltage-control project is part of FirstEnergy’s $4.2 billion “Energizing the Future” transmission initiative.
The work at the Hoytdale substation is expected to be completed by early June.
