(A new substation approved for La Quinta)...The Imperial Irrigation District's Major Substation Expansion Project.

It will boost energy service to Coachella Valley's La Qunta area. The IID continues working to build its energy infrastructure to meet the needs of an ever expanding Coachella Valley today and long into the future. At their meeting this week, the Imperial Irrigation District Board of Directors agreed to expand a major substation in the City of La Quinta, increasing electrical service to about 4,000 more customers there and in adjoining areas. The $23.2 million project includes adding a fourth transformer bank at IID's Avenue 58 Substation, located north of Avenue 58 and west of Monroe Street in La Quinta, which currently serves close to 6,000 customers. Construction is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027, with initial seervice connections anticipated to be ready by summer of 2028.
