PAULDING, OH \u2014 Paulding Putnam Electric Cooperative recently completed a $2.1 million project to rebuild and upgrade the co-op\u2019s Cecil Substation, which will improve electric reliability, reduce outages, and increase future electric load capacity for businesses in the Paulding, Ohio, area. Construction started in June and was completed Oct. 23, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to thank everyone for their support and help with this project,\u201d said PPEC Engineering Manager Steve Kahle. \u201cWe appreciate everyone\u2019s efforts in making this a success and improving the service and reliability in the Cecil area for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PPEC partnered with Eaton Corporation Group to complete the substation rebuild. The new Cecil Substation is equipped with a 12 MVA station transformer, which is more than twice the capacity of the old 5 MVA transformer. Security cameras and several other new features have also been installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited for the many businesses in Paulding County that will benefit from this large upgrade,\u201d said Kahle. \u201cThis new substation will improve reliability, system durability, and increase load capacity for future growth in our community. If more business comes or a company wants to expand, we can offer that capability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
