Anticipated Construction Schedule

Why Expand the Substation?
UEC is seeing extensive growth in the Boardman area and needs additional capacity and reliability to serve member needs. The added infrastructure in the Heritage Trail substation will support the continued growth of our membership in Morrow County.
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.
