Rosselle Street Substation Rebuild Project
Estimated Dates & Work Schedule
Anticipated End Date: 2017-03-31
NOTE: Start and completion dates are highly subject to change and in some circumstances, night and weekend hours may be necessary.
Project Objective
In Spring 2017, JEA completed a project to rebuild and upgrade the Rosselle Street electric substation located at 2640 Rosselle Street. This is one of two electrical substations (Herschel Street substation) rebuilt in the Riverside area.
The existing electrical equipment for this existing substation was installed in 1959 and was reaching the end of its service life. JEA determined that this substation needed to be rebuilt and upgraded to comply with current codes and industry standards. This new substation provides improved electric service reliability to the area.
Construction Conditions
Construction occurred within JEA’s property located at 2640 Rosselle Street where JEA replaced the transformer and switchgear units situated inside the existing fence line. Some clearing of trees and bushes on the substation property were required to be removed prior to the substation construction. The contractor then removed the old equipment and replaced it with upgraded transformer and switchgear units which are situated inside the fence line.
