Repairs Completed To Jay Power Substation After Major Fire
April 28, 2016
The power supply is back to normal for Jay area residents.
Fire damage to a power substation that serves the Jay area was extensive on April 3. It was estimated that it would take six weeks to bring the destroyed substation back online.
PowerSouth Energy Cooperative, owners of the substation and power suppler for Escambia River Electric Cooperative, brought in a mobile substation to provide power to Jay.
Wednesday, just over three weeks after the fire, repairs to the substation were completed and EREC members’ power was switched from the mobile substation back to the repaired Jay substation. The switch was made “hot”, with no disruption of electric service.
