Two years of work at a Barnet substation by the UK Power Networks has future proofed the power supply to more than 55,000 customers in Borehamwood, Elstree, Potters Bar, as well as parts of Barnet. UK Power Networks invested £3.5million in upgrading the electricity equipment and protecting it from the weather and any other external factors that might cause damage by enclosing it in a new steel building above potential flood levels.
