Eversource Burlington to Woburn Supply Initiative Public Meeting

Eversource's Burlington to Woburn Supply Initiative includes a proposed new substation in Burlington that will connect with existing transmission and distribution network.  Members of the project team will be on hand to answer questions, and a formal presentation will begin at 6:30 p.m. If you are unable to attend in-person, a virtual option is also available and can be accessed via the project webpage.

We expect electricity demand in the area to continue rising due to economic development and electrification. With the Middlesex Turnpike substation in Burlington and the South Woburn substation by horn pond nearing capacity, this project will help meet that demand and improve reliability in the area.

This project is part of our Electric Sector Modernization Plan (ESMP), a 10-year roadmap to modernize the electric grid and support Massachusetts’ climate goals. We propose a new substation only after determining alternatives – such as solar, energy efficiency and battery storage –  cannot meet the area’s energy needs.
