The 20 million volt-amp equipment, which each weighs 29 tonnes, arrived yesterday afternoon on the Clipper from the UK and will be transported on self-propelled, remote controlled vehicles, travelling at 4mph by a team of operators walking alongside.

The first transformer was moved last night and the second is being transferred this evening from the White Rock, to the roundabout at St Julian's Avenue, along Glategny Esplanade, the Longstore, Rouge Rue and up to Beau Sejour.

The new substation at the back of the leisure centre will be commissioned in November 2021.
