Glenora substation

Electric system upgrades were made in the area which increased the distribution voltage of the neighborhood from 5kV to 15kV. Due to these upgrades, the 650 Glenora Substation is no longer needed and power for the area is now being distributed from a different substation.

EPCOR sells assets, like this substation, when they are no longer in use and there is no future need for them. 

Right now, EPCOR is gathering community feedback on this project. We will use this feedback to adjust our approach and minimize impacts to the neighborhood. This project will likely begin in July and take approximately one month. After the project is finished, EPCOR will conduct an environmental assessment and determine next steps. We will communicate with the community throughout this project.

This work will be noisy at times as it involves removing metal equipment and demolishing a retaining wall. EPCOR will disassemble the metal equipment inside the substation and then put it in large metal bins in order to be hauled to a recycling facility. EPCOR will also be demolishing a cement retaining wall which involves breaking the cement and removing it from the area.
