Campus Generator & Substation

High Tension Powerstation with 3 Megawatt Standby Generator

In late 2015, White Horse Village retirement community commissioned Advanced Electrical Services Group, Inc. to complete the construction of a high tension substation to consolidate the campus power supply as well as protect the community with the addition of a 3 megawatt standby generator. Construction concluded in October of 2016 with the final testing of the system that now supplies utility and standby power to all the buildings on the campus including over 325 resident homes, the Clubhouse and a 120 bed health care facility.
