Work to rebuild key sections of Seward's transmission system to replace aging equipment and
upgrade the condition of the system got underway in 2023 and will continue in 2024. This work is
part of the overall transmission infrastructure project to improve system reliability well into the
future.
Part of this work includes refurbishing Seward's three electric substations: Fort Raymond, Lawing
and Spring Creek Most of the work at Fort Raymond was completed in 2023, leaving Lawing and
Spring Creek to be completed m 2024. This circuit breaker will be installed at the Lawing Substation
