USA, Texas, Dumas: Xcel Energy has completed the construction of the new Demon Substation near Dumas as a system upgrade to improve power reliability.

The existing power supply network, before the new substation was completed, was nearing the city’s capacity, posing a risk of likely power disruptions.

The cost of building the Demon substation was approximately $12 M according to the company.

“Our internal construction crews have earned a great reputation for high-quality work that is completed safely, on time and within or under budget,” said Shane Woodard, senior operations manager for Xcel Energy’s Texas-New Mexico Substation Construction group. “These projects are especially meaningful for them because they call this area home, and they are invested in the success of our Texas Panhandle communities.”
