The construction phase of the project is underway with completion expected in Spring 2024. Read the latest project update
Please note EPCOR also has ongoing emergency power cable repair work at 85 Avenue. More information about this project can be found here.
EPCOR is committed to minimizing construction impacts where possible while we work in the community.

On March 12, 2020, EPCOR received approval from the AUC to proceed with the Upgrades to the Garneau Substation Project as part of the West Edmonton Transmission Upgrade Project (Decision 23943-D01-2020).
All work will be completed on EPCOR property within a temporary fenced area of the Garneau Substation. During construction, residents can expect to see vehicles and equipment entering and exiting the substation.
EPCOR does not anticipate any power service interruptions as a result of this work.
Residents will experience noise typical to construction as various equipment and trucks will be used for material delivery, excavation, equipment installation and surface restoration. We will comply with the City of Edmonton's Community Standards Bylaw for Noise Control. If it's necessary to temporarily exceed acceptable noise levels, we will work with the City of Edmonton to obtain the necessary permits.
Affected landscaping, pavement and sidewalks within the work area will be restored to their original condition when weather permits.
A substation is a part of the electrical system that connects two or more power lines. The Garneau substation converts electricity from higher voltage power lines (transmission lines) to lower voltages that can be safely distributed to homes and businesses in the area. This conversion is done using a transformer.
