ISSUE 33 SEPTEMBER 2016

Welcome to the Metro and CBD Security of Supply newsletter. In this edition we look at the installation of five new 66kV underground XLPE (Cross Linked Polyethylene) circuits between Bouverie Queensberry (BQ), Victoria Market (VM), Waratah Place (WP) Zone Substations (ZSS) and Brunswick Terminal Station (BTS):

• BQ ZSS - VM ZSS

• BQ ZSS - WP ZSS

• BTS - BQ ZSS

• BTS - WP ZSS

• BTS - VM ZSS

WHERE ARE WE NOW?

Our jointing works are now complete with all cables having been hauled from the Glenlyon Road and Miller Street joint bays to Brunswick Terminal Station (BTS).

WHERE TO NEXT?

We will undertake final reinstatement of the road surface in Glenlyon Road and Miller Street before returning to site later this year to connect the cables to the BTS switchboard.
