• In 2007, Con Edison unveiled a $300 million Bronx substation disguised to read like a rowhouse street; it houses two substations delivering 900MW, and a $47.3 million capacity upgrade is now approved

  15-10-2026 08:40 via article.wn.com
  When Con Edison unveiled its East 179th Street substation in the Bronx in 2007, it did not look like a typical industrial power facility. The $300 million project was designed to resemble a row of Bronx rowhouses, with a brick facade and a street-level appearance intended to blend into the surrounding neighbourhood.
