South Wellington Substation2016-03-25
Project name: South Wellington Substation
Product type: ACSR Conductor 490/65mm2
Date: 2014-2015
Quantity:952KM
Project profile: The south area of Nanaimo is growing, and demand for electricity is increasing. The new South Wellington Substation, in addition to Harewood and Ladysmith substations, will increase the flexibility of the electricity system in the region.
The new South Wellington Substation is being constructed to the north of Nanaimo River Road. The site was chosen for its proximity to existing transmission lines and its flat and stable foundation. The site is surrounded by active gravel mining operations and we expect it to have a low impact on the environment and the community.
Underground distribution lines will be installed from the new substation, along Nanaimo River Road to Island Highway.
