The substation is connected to the existing electric system in the Akron area using two new underground circuits that were built as part of this project.
The substation project is part of FirstEnergy’s previously announced plan to invest more than $383 million in 2015 on distribution and transmission infrastructure projects to enhance service reliability and support economic growth in Ohio Edison’s service area.
