Outage planned for 8:00am - 4:00pm. This was a semi emergency situation to energize the new pole line and be able to transfer load to a second feeder at the distribution station. This now allows us to balance feeder loading in the event of an emergency and provide reliability through use of other feeders if required. Which would mean if an emergency situation we could transfer the load to another feeder quickly while repairs are done, minimizing the amount of time the customers would be without power. Duration of outage was scheduled to be 8 hours and it was completed by 10:59am (3hrs).
