A £4M project to boost the power network for customers in Ealing has been completed by Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks.

It has upgraded its Perivale substation, reinforcing the network that serves nearly 25,000 homes and businesses.

Capacity is increased and the risk of power cuts is reduced.

The four-year project focused on the addition of new transformers and the replacement of existing equipment with more efficient, adaptable switchgear.

Project manager Joseph Hurling said: “This substantial investment keeps power flowing to those living and working in the area, while providing enough available capacity to enable new connections for homes and businesses.”
