Texas public power utility Kerrville Public Utility Board recently welcomed a new transformer at its Jack Furman Substation, “an expanded addition that helps us better manage customer demand and operate more efficiently,” it noted.
“What does that mean for you? More reliable service and smarter system operations that help keep costs down,” KPUB said in social media posts.
The schedule for completing installation of the transformer at the substation is by June 1, 2026, noted Allison Bueché, Director of Customer & Community Relations at KPUB.
Procurement was a lengthy process, she said, when asked to detail how difficult it was for KPUB to procure this transformer in light of ongoing electric utility industry supply chain challenges.
KPUB experienced an approximate three-year lead time to secure this transformer, Bueché noted.
