The £2.5 million upgrade to the Lowestoft substation has been completed, enhancing the electricity network for approximately 15,000 residents. Over 18 months, a new switch house was constructed, and modern 33,000-volt switchgear was installed, replacing two circuit breakers with seven for better power flow management.

The project aims to improve reliability and stability of power supplies, supporting future demands for green energy and electric vehicles. The upgrade is expected to deliver long-lasting benefits to the community.
