Calgary’s Power Heart Just Got a $240M Upgrade | Calgary News
Description
Calgary just unveiled its most advanced power hub yet—the $240 million Enmax Substation No. 1—replacing a 1912 relic that powered the city’s first streetlights and streetcars. This modern marvel handles high-voltage electricity, steps it down safely for 20,000 downtown customers, and’s built to meet future demands from EVs and electric heating. With cutting-edge tech like gas-insulated switchgear and remote monitoring, it’s not just reliable—it’s setting a national standard, even drawing envy from BC Hydro looking to replicate it in Vancouver.
