Cookeville City Council Approves Bid For Cane Creek Substation Control Building

Cookeville’s Electric Department taking the next step on its Cane Creek Substation project by approving a control building bid.

Electric Department Director Carl Haney said the control building functions as the “brain,” housing the equipment and running the substation.

“This is the building and all of the equipment,” Haney said. “All of its relays and breakers and things that is required to run that substation. So it’s the building and all of the equipment but no installation.”

Haney said the substation is located across from Cane Creek Park. He said the council ordered the transformer earlier this spring and have already replaced some of its old breakers.

Haney said that now that most of the equipment is prepared and the control building bid is approved, the next step will be the construction of the facility.
