Why Build a New Substation?
UEC needed to replace aging infrastructure to ensure service is reliable for members of UEC in the Mission and Pendleton areas.
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.
