Current Projects
Java Substation
Java Substation, located in our Lancaster Division, is a 34.5-4.8 kV substation with two distribution feeder circuits that serve approximately 1,665 customers. The existing 5 MVA bank has exceeded the nameplate rating and one circuit has significant load growth. The NWA project to postpone the transformer replacement was initiated with an RFP in 2016.
Stillwater Substation
Stillwater Substation, located in our Mechanicville Division, is a 2.8 MVA substation that serves approximately 1,270 customers. The transformer at the substation is near or over its nameplate rating. The traditional wires project is to upgrade the Stillwater Substation with a new 34.5-4.8 X 12.5 kV, 10/12.5 (14) MVA, LTC transformer and convert approximately two miles of distribution circuit to 12.5 kV from the substation to Colonial Drive. An RFP requesting NWA solutions for this project was issued in July 2017.
New Gardenville Substation
The New Gardenville Substation, located in our Lancaster Division, contains two 230/115 kV transformers that have experienced low bus voltages and thermal overload. The traditional wires project is to install a third 230/115 kV transformer at the substation and operate it in parallel with the two existing transformers. An RFP requesting NWA solutions for this project was issued in September 2017.
Upcoming Projects
Northside Substation
Northside Substation, located in our Binghamton Division, is a load relief project. The traditional wires solution is to upgrade the 115/34.5 kV LTC Transformer by replacing the #2 LTC bank with a larger LTC having a summer normal rating above 70 MVA and replace the #1 Non LTC bank with a larger one having a summer LTE rating of at least 60 MVA. We plan to release an RFP requesting NWA solutions for this project in 2018.
