Vector sub station in Tecoma Street 2018
According to Vector there is a Vector sub station planned for Tecoma Street.
The Ellerslie Resident’s Association has just been made aware that Vector has told residents of Tecoma, Kentucky, Somerfield, Harrod and Sproston Streets that they intend to install a sub station in Tecoma Road.
Apparently this will not happen until 2018 but Vector has indicated that they are beginning the process and they are about to lodge a Notice of Requirement to Designate the site with Auckland City Council.
The substation will help improve the reliability and quality of the electricity supply, and provide additional capacity in the area to support future growth in Ellerslie.
