The second leg of the project started on the 8th October. Sub stations that arrived were positioned on concreted plinths awaiting the arrival of the electrical engineers to connect the new MV cables. Plinths for street lights were constructed and concreted into place. Paths and roads damaged by the trenching have also been repaired and the remaining cables to the last houses have been completed.
The electrical engineers arrived back on the island aboard MV Edinburgh on 9th November. MV/LV connections to the step-up station have been made. Power to the first mini-sub was switched on 16th November and the first section of streetlights tested. These were put on over night to see their effectiveness with good results. |
