Brookswood Substation project
The Langley/Surrey region is one of Canada's fastest-growing communities, and we're making sure our energy system grows with it. To ensure we continue delivering reliable power to homes and businesses, we're planning to build a new substation in the Brookswood area of Langley.
We need to build a new outdoor substation to supply power to rapidly growing communities like Brookswood in Langley and Campbell Heights in Surrey.
To connect the new substation to the existing network, we'll also need to build a transmission connection linking it to McLellan Substation to the north.
Langley and Surrey are growing rapidly, and a new substation is needed to supply power to neighbourhoods like Brookswood in Langley and Campbell Heights in Surrey.
Once complete, the new substation will help power up to 35,000 more homes in the area.
We've purchased a property from the Township of Langley, located north of the intersection at 197A St and 30 Ave. We looked at several other sites for the substation and following consultation with the Township, this site was chosen due to its size and suitability.
Now that we've secured a site, early planning and design work for the new substation is getting underway. The exact size of the facility and the transmission routes have yet to be determined.
We're in the very early stages of the substation project, with planning and design just getting underway.
Construction is not expected to begin until late 2027.
We're beginning geophysical and geotechnical studies in September 2025 to help inform design of the station. This includes soil testing and some brush trimming to make space for the work.
We understand the new substation will bring changes to the area. We're committed to keeping area residents informed and consulting with stakeholders throughout the process.
We'll share the substation design and transmission routes when they're available.
