Distribution supply centres
Distribution supply centres (DSC) are smaller, more compact versions of traditional substations. Our DSC technology has advantages over traditional substations in rural and suburban settings:
- less obtrusive on the landscape;
- less time to build;
- more cost-effective.
Since the first DSC was installed in 2001, the technology has been used at more than 60 sites across the province.
What is a Distribution Supply Centre?
Our DSC technology is like a traditional substation – but flipped upside down.
