Hidden Substation

摘要

Most municipalities don't build a lot of substations, generally speaking, but you wouldn't know it to see the project list at Anaheim Public Utilities. The city of Anaheim is experiencing rapid growth in densely populated urban areas, which means Anaheim Public Utilities is busy building multiple substations in highly creative and technologically innovative ways to provide reliable, economically feasible power in aesthetically pleasing ways, a trend also seen in "megacities" like neighboring Los Angeles. To date, Anaheim Public Utilities has completed two substations and is currently building one more to serve current and future load growth. One is a substation built in a new building designed to blend into the neighboring historic structures and another is Park Substation, the first underground gas insulated switchgear substation in the United States.
