National Grid is planning to invest approximately $16M in Fall River, MA

to rebuild the Bell Rock Substation.

The Bell Rock Substation will be upgraded and expanded to improve

the reliability and operability of the substation, and to accommodate

the termination of the existing M13 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission line

into the substation.

Pending regulatory approvals, construction will begin in 2020 and the

substation will be commissioned in mid-2021.

BENEFITSThis project enables improved reliability and support for additional

infrastructure improvements in the Fall River area.

The Bell Rock Substation is located at 181 Bell Rock Road in Fall River,

Massachusetts.
