JEMENA UPGRADES HISTORIC YARRAVILLE ZONE SUBSTATION

摘要

Jemena has completed its $15 million upgrade of its Yarraville Zope Substation, 8km west of the Melbourne CBR. In the past decade, peak demand in the 950sq km Jemena Electricity Network - which ranges from Couangalt in the north to Footscray in the south - has increased by 23 per cent to around 320,000 homes and businesses. Once a working-class suburb, Yarraville has experienced rapid gentrification in recent years, largely due to its close proximity to the CBD and major developments including Yarraville Village's bourgeoning cafe culture, the restoration of the art deco Sun Theatre and a $738,000 upgrade to the Yarraville Station Plaza transport hub.
