(1) Project(s) listed at this time.
Electrical activity within the MSD has been ongoing and will continue for the next two to three years. Two projects are in progress. Monthly status updates will be posted here.
Project:
Around 4 November 2009 Beaches Energy Services commenced the project to move the overhead power lines underground from the Duval County line south to Solana and A1A East to Ponte Vedra Blvd. along all streets in that area of the MSD. That project is projected to take two to three years from start to completion. It will be completed in phases and each phase will include installing the underground conduit followed by the installation of the cable and transformers, followed by the transfer of the power lines to each residence from the overhead cables to the underground cables.
Status as of END OF YEAR 2010:
As of the end of Dec, progress is continuing on installing transformers on the North end of the project. About 40% of the cable has been pulled through the new conduit. As for the conduit, there remain only minor finishing touches following compaction tests with basically 98% of construction done. As of now, Beaches Energy is ahead of schedule for the entire project. So far only two of the 21 homes with overhead access lines have had those lines moved underground. As we get closer to the end of the project it will be more important to have the remaining homes transitioned to ensure removal of all the poles.
We also ask your assistance in reporting damaged or inoperable lights (poles and/or fixtures) within MSD to Beaches Energy Dispatch—247-6171. They will send a repair crew within 48 to 72 hours.
