Besides enhancing supply reliability and customer service levels, the investment is also expected to address any increased demands placed in future on the power network for additional developments.
WPD Projects Distribution manager Patrick Booth said, ”It ensures that we can provide a high level of service to these areas in the long term by improving the infrastructure and security of our electricity network.”
The upgrade work, which is a part of the company’s commitment to offer a consistently high level of service to customers, was completed in two years.
WPD is investing approximately £2bn on its electricity network between 2010 and 2015.
