Scott Road substation rebuild project
Surrey is one of the fastest-growing regions in Canada. To support this growth and electrification in the North Surrey area, we're redeveloping the Scott Road Substation.
When complete, the new substation will power up to 17,500 additional homes.
What's new
September 2026
We're beginning the removal of the vacant buildings located on the recently purchased property and complete the site preparation.
The demolition work is expected to take about one month to complete. As with all major projects, the timeline may change due to unforeseen circumstances.
Substation construction is expected to begin in early 2027.
To ensure we continue to provide reliable electricity in North Surrey, we're redeveloping Scott Road Substation.
The old substation on 99 Avenue near Scott Road, which was originally built in 1950, was decommissioned in 2024. In order to redevelop the substation to modern standards, we've purchased the small neighbouring property to the west.
The new indoor/outdoor substation will be located on the expanded substation property and will connect to the nearby existing transmission line.
