To support regional growth, UEC is constructing a new substation in the Port of Morrow Industrial Park in Boardman.
Anticipated Construction Schedule
Start Date: July 2025
Completion Date: July 2026
Why Build a New Substation?
UEC needs to invest in new infrastructure to meet the increased need of the rapidly growing region. The substation will support the continued growth of our industrial membership in the Boardman region.
UEC’s Commitment to Our Membership
Substations are critical links in the electric distribution system, containing utility circuit protection, voltage regulation, and equipment that steps down higher voltage to lower voltage. Before reaching homes, businesses or farms, power is routed through our transmission system to a substation, where it is changed to a lower voltage that can be managed, utilized and delivered to members.
Benefits and Value Carefully Considered
Our mission is to provide reliable power to our members. UEC will continue to address the area’s growing energy needs to ensure we can continue to provide reliable power for years to come.
