Utility seeks to replace underground transmission cable in Beverly
National Grid is gearing up for a major cable replacement project that will span nearly half of the city, but it won’t hit residents as hard as the recent project in Salem.
The Beverly Regional Transmission Reliability Project is the replacement of a 115-kilovolt underground electric transmission line in Salem and Beverly, Massachusetts. Beginning at the new Waite Street Substation in Salem and ending at National Grid’s East Beverly Substation, the cable supplies power to the local grid, serving nearly 50,000 electric customers in Beverly, Essex, Gloucester, Hamilton, Manchester, Rockport, and Wenham.
Originally installed in 1971, the cable is aging and in need of replacement.
