Why the Medford substation matters

The new substation in Medford is really about one thing-making sure the community has the power capacity it needs today and into the future.

• Improved reliability for Medford. Right now, power is being delivered from farther away. This substation brings that source closer.
• Supporting local growth. Whether it's new homes, expanding farms, or local businesses, this substation provides the capacity needed for Medford to grow without being limited by infrastructure.
• Stronger for local businesses and agriculture. Reliable power is critical for grain operations, shops, and small industry. This project helps ensure those operations have the capacity to grow.
• Investing in Medford's future. This isn't just about today's needs-it's about making sure Medford is in a position to attract new opportunities and remain a strong, viable community for years to come. This substation is more than infrastructure-it's an investment in Medford's reliability, it's growth, and its future.
• Planned timeline for Medford substation: April/May-Feeders inside the sub, conduit, ground grid & Shack; May/June-Finish with conduit ground grid and fence; July-Steel, feeders outside the sub, final grade, and T-Line; September-Energize substation.
