Pepco reached a major milestone in our efforts to strengthen reliability and resiliency for our customers as we fully energized the upgraded Takoma substation in Takoma Park, Md. This is the first of three substations to be upgraded and re-energized as part of our broader Capital Grid project, which further builds reliability and resiliency in the energy grid, while supporting the growth of renewable energy and enabling more economic development across the region.

Asteway Ribbiso, the Principal Project Manager who oversaw the Takoma substation upgrade, shared details about the project and how this work is strengthening the local energy grid to better serve our customers today and into the future.
