The company has constructed a new switch room in the St John’s Wood area, London, UK, and replaced essential electrical equipment that can be remotely controlled by engineers from a control centre to restore customer supplies more quickly in the event of a power interruption.

As part of the GBP23 million project, EDF Energy Networks has worked with National Grid to provide additional power capacity to meet increasing demand for electricity. A new cable tunnel was installed to connect National Grid’s equipment to EDF Energy Networks site.
