Western Power is upgrading the Rivervale substation to install a second transformer and associated equipment. The area within the substation will accommodate the new transformer, requiring some earthworks and rearranging of equipment.
Western Power will also install additional security fencing to meet new substation standards. Construction of a new 3 metre high brick fence on the Streatley Road side of the substation will start in October.
