Full Description

The project will fund the replacement of 20 to 40 aging Pad-Mounted Vacuum (PMV) distribution switches, which are responsible for regulating and directing the flow of electricity to consumers, as well as the implementation of advanced automation technology to enhance the grid's operational efficiency and modernization. The project reduces outage frequency and duration by utilizing more modern, reliable switches that enable quicker fault detection, which leads to faster restoration and shorter outages. APU will also install advanced automation technology that monitors and controls distribution switches, which enables quicker response times. This modern switch technology also retires the use of sulfur hexafluoride, a potent greenhouse gas. Additionally, the project is anticipated to create up to 13 new positions: up to 4 apprenticeships, up to 4 internships, and up to 5 jobs.
