Avangrid is advancing work at more than 40 substations and substation facilities across Maine, New York and Connecticut. The projects include everything from major substation rebuilds and equipment replacements to flood mitigation projects, automation upgrades and capacity enhancements. These investments are helping strengthen the electric system, improve service reliability and support growing energy demand. “Substations are the backbone of a reliable electric grid,” Avangrid CEO Jose Antonio Miranda said. “Across our service territories, we are making strategic investments to modernize critical infrastructure, strengthen resilience against increasingly severe weather, improve operational flexibility, and ensure our electric system is prepared to meet the needs of customers for decades to come.” In Connecticut, Avangrid subsidiary United Illuminating (UI) advanced construction on flood protection improvements at the Singer Substation in Bridgeport. It also achieved engineering milestones for flood mitigation efforts at the Grand Avenue-Mill River substation in New Haven and Milvon Substation in Milford. In addition, final closeout activities continued for the Pequonnock Resiliency Project, which relocated and elevated critical infrastructure to reduce coastal flood risk.
