Major projects
A strong, resilient and sustainable power grid is essential for the future of our community. That's why we’re making significant, long-term investments in major projects today across our entire service area to meet the rising electricity demands of tomorrow.
Our major projects are focused on three key priorities:
Resilience
We’re replacing aging infrastructure and strengthening our system against increasingly frequent extreme weather to create a more resilient energy grid.
Capacity-building
We’re preparing our communities for the ongoing energy transition and rising demand for electricity with new substations and upgraded transmission lines.
Innovation and grid modernization
We’re embracing cutting-edge technologies and smart grid solutions to build a more reliable and efficient electricity system — one that is ready for 2030 and beyond.
