LOWER MANHATTAN'S GROWING POWER DEMAND GETS A BOOST
GOVERNOR PATAKI JOINS CON EDISON TO MARK OPENING OF ELECTRICAL SUBSTATION AT 7 WORLD TRADE CENTER
Governor George E. Pataki today joined Con Edison Chairman and CEO Eugene R. McGrath, to mark the return of a fully operational electrical substation at 7 World Trade Center which replaces the facility destroyed during the 9-11 terrorist attacks.
"Today we're bringing Lower Manhattan back to full power," said Governor Pataki. "A rebuilt Lower Manhattan requires both redundant and reliable energy for both businesses and residents. This new substation will not only fully replace what we lost on September 11th, but will also be large enough to accommodate the new electric demand that is expected through the rebuilding. Given complexities of the project, it was a great feat of cooperation between Con Edison, the developers and the community that this substation was constructed so rapidly."
Kevin M. Rampe, President of LMDC said, "Restoring power at the Con Ed substation is just one more sign of Lower Manhattan's rebirth - thanks to the leadership of Governor Pataki. The substation will be available to power the tallest tower in the world, a magnificent train station, world class cultural facilities and a memorial to all that was lost on that fateful day. Congratulations to Con Edison and to all those who worked so hard to bring the substation back ahead of schedule."
