Reclosers play a key role in energy reliability in the communities we serve. When an outage happens, they allow us to re-route energy. This means service can be restored in a matter of minutes, compared to many years ago when restoration efforts might take hours. We've installed more than 600 devices on the grid this year and have more than 4,000 reclosers spanning 55,000+ miles of distributions lines. Learn more: rge.com/w/nyseg-and-rg-e-s-r…

Substations play a critical role in delivering safe, reliable power to customers and support economic growth across New York.

Come behind the scenes with us to see how substations serve as the backbone of the electric system and why investing in this infrastructure is essential to meeting the needs of customers and communities across the state.
