Substation Projects
Grid Improvements for More Reliable Service
Substations change the voltage of electric facilities for transmission, distribution and delivery of electric service to area customers.
TEP’s proposed substation projects are designed to enhance our local energy grid while preparing for our community’s future energy needs. Public outreach is an important part of TEP’s planning process. Click below to learn more about current projects.
