NEW YORK, Nov. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- It's being called the first of its
kind here in the U.S. When the city of Anaheim began undergoing a
population surge, the demand for power increased accordingly. While
very few homeowners welcomed the idea of an electrical substation
in their backyard, many welcomed the idea of a park. Enter the
"park substation," an electrical substation that's been built below
a two-acre park -- giving residents the extra power their growing
population requires, along with some extra green space they can now
enjoy. (See video at:
http://media.medialink.com/WebNR.aspx?story=32653) The substation
features the latest in what's known as "gas-insulated switchgear"
technology, or GIS, which allows substations to be built 70 percent
smaller than conventional models. Energy insiders say the small
footprint and the increased reliability give a much needed boost to
our nation's aging power grid. The Anaheim park substation is
expected to serve as a model to other growing communities across
the country. Registered journalists can access video, audio, text,
