Tucson Electric Power is upgrading infrastructure in Midtown for faster service during outages. TEP is adding lines, poles, and a transformer to their Midtown substation on Mabel and Alvernon.They’re planning on upgrading infrastructure such as putting in new lines, poles, and a transformer.They said the new upgrades are going to improve service because the distribution lines are going to have a higher capacity.
They said customers’ energy use is growing and because of that, they needed to make upgrades to their systems that were installed in the seventies.“If there’s an outage of some kind, either from storm damage, or a piece of equipment fails, whatever the case might be, by having new equipment with more capacity, it would essentially allow us to get the lights back on faster,” TEP spokesman Joe Barrios said.
