England, Hemel Hempstead: UK Power Networks is replacing one existing transformer with two new ones at Warners End substation to make the network more resilient.
A $3 M (£2.5 M) investment by UK Power Networks, which distribute electricity across the East of England, will future-proof Hemel’s power supplies by increasing capacity.
The work, which will take around a year, will boost the reliability of power supplies for more than 8,000 customers.
Arinze Udenwa, project manager for UK Power Networks, said, “We closely monitor our equipment and run maintenance and replacement programmes to safeguard power supplies. ”
“The existing electrical equipment at Warners End has served us well for decades and is being replaced by two new 33 / 11 kV transformers which will increase the power capacity for what is a growing residential area.
“This project is one of many multi-million pound schemes we are carrying out this year with support from our Capital Programme Delivery alliance partners to make sure we continue to provide resilient power supplies for the local communities we serve,” Udenwa concluded.
