El Paso Electric Distribution crews upgraded an existing service from 45KVA to 225 KVA. The upgrade is needed to provide power to the new pump station at the Newman Pond Project at Newman Power Station. The new heavier transformers required an upgrade in pole classification.
Existing powerlines and limited driving space for construction equipment had to be taken into account during installation.
