\n Construction recently kicked off on new substation and backup power lines<\/i>

\n TOLEDO, Ohio<\/span>
\n <\/span>, Oct. 22, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — A major reliability project is transforming electric service in Fulton County<\/span>, delivering stronger, more resilient power to thousands of residents and businesses in the greater Toledo<\/span> area, including customers of Toledo Edison, a FirstEnergy (NYSE: FE) electric company.<\/p>\n

\n <\/a>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Led by American Transmission Systems, Inc. (ATSI), a FirstEnergy Transmission company, the project includes a new substation and nine-mile-long 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission line to help prevent or minimize the impact of power outages in and around Delta Village<\/span>, Fulton<\/span>, Pike<\/span>, Swan Creek and York townships and support continued future growth in northwest Ohio<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\n
\n Faster Fixes, Fewer Outages
<\/u>
\n <\/b>A new electric substation is planned to be up and running by December 2026<\/span>. It will be connected to the existing Sydney Substation by two new half-mile power lines. These additions will bring more electricity to the area, making the system more flexible if a customer’s main power line is taken out of service and will help crews restore power more quickly during outages.<\/p>\n

It’s like upgrading your neighborhood’s power grid from a two-lane road to a multi-lane highway. More lanes mean more capacity, smoother traffic flow and fewer bottlenecks\u2014especially during rush hour when energy demand is high. Just like a well-designed highway system, it’s built to grow with the community, keeping pace as more homes and businesses come online.<\/p>\n

Since 2014, FirstEnergy’s transmission companies have collectively reduced outages by 50% on high-voltage power lines exceeding 100-kVs \u2013 proof that the companies’ strategic infrastructure investments, like this work in northwest Ohio<\/span>, are making the grid more reliable for customers.<\/p>\n

\n
\n Why this Project Matters to You<\/u>
\n <\/b>
\n
If you live in Fulton County<\/span>, this project is all about helping your lights stay on, especially when demand is high, like during heat waves or cold snaps and during storms. If you do experience an outage, this upgrade adds back up power sources and smarter equipment that can reroute electricity. That means:<\/p>\n
