For this project, PSE designed a 44 kV/4160 V substation to provide power to a new rocket motor facility at a plant in northern Utah. PSE also designed the 4160 V power transmission line from the substation to the plant, power delivery to the new buildings, and a generator backup power system to prevent power outages for vital operations in the new facility.
