(Plainfield, Ind.) - Duke Energy is strengthening part of its electric grid in the Aurora, Ind., area to improve reliability and reduce power outages. The company is making upgrades to power line circuits fed through its Aurora-387 Substation located on the west side of the city. Crews will install modernized equipment and automated technologies along the power line circuits that can automatically restore power (like the breaker in your house) or reroute power to other power lines to help mitigate outages. Work on the project is currently underway and is expected to conclude in October 2024. “This important work is part of a multilayered energy grid improvement strategy to help improve electric reliability and resiliency and strengthen the electric grid against severe weather and other impacts,” said Duke Energy Government and Community Relations Manager Kylie Foster. “Making the right investments today means that the energy grid customers and their families depend on will be better, more reliable and more responsive in the future.”
