Power boost for Attleborough residents
Work is underway to give Attleborough residents a more reliable and future proofed electricity network
Engineers from UK Power Networks are replacing 11kv switchgear to boost supplies from a substation in the town.
The upgrade costs £1.7million and will be finished in early summer giving around 8,000 residents a reliable supply.
Project manager John McAndrew said: “This is good news for the people of Attleborough as the improvements will offer them more reliability. The new equipment has modern automation, enabling engineers to quickly reconnect electricity supplies in the area if a power cut was ever to happen.”
The project is one of several electricity network improvements taking place across the east as part of a £600 million network investment this year to maintain reliable electricity supplies.
