Ribbon-cutting planned for Liberty’s new Greenfield substation
GREENFIELD, MISSOURI – Community members and media are invited to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Liberty’s new substation at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 9, at 74 Highway 39 in Greenfield.
The previous substation – with equipment and structures dating back to the 1950s and ‘70s, had become increasingly difficult to maintain due to age and utility standards. Liberty’s Engineering Department began studying the transmission and distribution system looking for ways to modernize the substation. When one of the transformers failed, it became apparent that options for the system were limited.
For the last two years, a mobile transformer with temporary fencing has been serving parts of Greenfield. A pole yard was relocated to behind Liberty’s storeroom north of town and began construction on a new substation, which was completed this spring and will enhance the ability to deliver safe and reliable service to customers in the region.
The ceremony will include remarks from Greenfield Mayor Dave Engroff, representatives from Liberty, and others. Greenfield area state legislators will also be in attendance.
