Submarine Cable Failure - Martha’s Vineyard

When the Martha’s Vineyard utility company experienced an underwater cable failure to the island they called on EPS. Both the high summer power demand and President Obama’s upcoming visit to the Vineyard contributed to the decision to use temporary power on the island.EPS quickly dispatched 4 MW’s of power and 2 x High voltage transformers to the island. EPS’s engineers handled all logistics for the project including teaming up with a local barge company to get all equipment and personnel over to the island. If the utility experiences another failure or the power demand becomes excessive the generators can be remotely put on line within minutes. Repairs are expected to take 1-2 months.
