Crews from Pulaski Electric System are finalizing line upgrades along College Street, said PES Operations Manager Kirby Parr. New lines have been installed and the old ones are being taken down.

Parr said this upgrade will better help tie substations together.

Next, plans are being finalized to  send PES crews to Bennett Drive where they will upgrade conductors and re-feed circuits to better utilize the Walter Anderson Substation. Work should start in the late winter or early spring.

Also, in February work is planned to begin on upgrading the substation at Industrial Park South, where a larger transformer and high-side breakers will be installed.

Parr said these upgrades help make the substation more reliable and help with back-feed when needed.
