The City of Morrill Powers Up the New Substation

On August 14th, the city of Morrill successfully transitioned to its new substation. For the past few years, Morrill had been operating on an old substation purchased from Evergy. Due to the age and disrepair of the facility, Evergy had planned to replace it.

After thoroughly evaluating the costs associated with Evergy replacing the old substation, the city decided to invest in purchasing the old substation and constructing a new one. This decision was driven by the potential rise in wholesale distribution service charges if Evergy proceeded with the replacement.

KMEA/Mid-States provided comprehensive engineering and construction services for the new substation. This included a full steel structure, a new transformer, regulators, reclosers, and all other necessary equipment to ensure a safe and reliable substation for Morrill.

Congratulations to the city of Morrill on a very successful project!
