Contractor to begin work this month on North Shore PUD Substation

What and why?
CHELAN - Chelan County PUD has been working closely with the community since 2015 to construct a new substation to serve growth and development on the north shore of Lake Chelan. Construction of the substation, located off of Henderson Road, is anticipated to begin in Spring 2023. As part of the substation project, new underground distribution lines will be installed to bring electricity out of the substation and connect to the existing electrical system in the area.
A PUD contractor is scheduled to begin work along Henderson Road in October. This work will include roadway excavation and installation of electrical equipment to prepare for future installation of underground power lines. Additional work will continue in future years to extend underground distribution lines and eventually remove some existing overhead power lines and poles. We will communicate again before construction activities begin in 2023.
What's to expect
• Batchelor Excavation will be digging along Henderson Road and across private property to install underground conduit, duct and vault.
• Work is scheduled to begin this month. Once it begins, we anticipate it will last about four weeks.

•There will be one-lane, flagger-controlled traffic along Henderson Road in the work area.
• Trucks will also be entering and leaving the area using the intersection at Boyd Road.
• Construction on the substation, transmission line into the substation, and additional work on the distribution lines out of the substation will continue in 2023.
• We anticipate the substation supplying power to the area by the end of 2023.
