LEESBURG, Fla. – May 14, 2020 – To support Xcel Energy’s ongoing “Power for the Plains” project, Energy Erectors Inc. recently completed a 115/12.47kV substation in Artesia, N.M., which is one in a series of substation construction projects and upgrades that the firm has undertaken to help Xcel Energy boost the reliability of the grid across New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma. The Artesia substation replaces a previously commissioned 69/13.2kV substation. As more people and businesses move into Xcel Energy’s New Mexico and Texas service territories, load increases and the substations play a critical role in handling a growing demand for energy by customers.
