Union County boosts utility strength with hardening project.
Lake Butler, Florida: $5.5 million
Project Description
The proposed project in Union County will make Clay Electric’s grid more reliable during severe weather. It will upgrade two transmission loops and harden five distribution line and pole systems. A critical generator at the Lake Butler Reception and Medical Center will also be replaced. The substation loops will keep service continuous. Old poles and conductors will be replaced with stronger ones. The new generator will keep the power on at an essential medical facility. This will protect public safety and support emergency response. These efforts aim to grow community awareness, save resources and reduce the need for post-disaster recovery funds in this underserved area.
