Among other innovative technologies, GCEP will include the
nation’s largest underground substation—a 35,000-square-foot
facility 120 feet beneath a public green space at BXP’s Life
Sciences Center in Kendall Square. It will also feature eight
underground transmission lines spanning 8.3 miles across Cambridge,
Somerville, and Boston, plus 48 distribution lines and significant
upgrades to local substations or clean energy hubs to enhance power
reliability, resilience, and support for a growing electric demand
driven by the electrification of transportation and heating.
“Our dedicated employees work every day to ensure a reliable,
more sustainable energy future, and we are truly honored to receive
this award from the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce,” said Bill
Quinlan, Eversource President of Transmission and Offshore Wind
Projects. “This recognition emphasizes the critical role of
collaboration and compromise in delivering innovative solutions
that meet the unique needs of the communities we serve. We’re
pleased to have had the opportunity to collaborate with BXP, the
City of Cambridge, the Cambridge Redevelopment Authority, as well
as the City of Somerville and Allston/Brighton on this important
project. By investing in advanced technologies and infrastructure,
we aim to meet the evolving energy needs of our customers in an
environmentally responsible way, creating a cleaner, more
resilient, and efficient grid for the future.”
The Visionary Awards recognize innovators from the business,
institutional, and non-profit communities who are truly effecting
change in Cambridge and beyond. This special evening is an
opportunity for the Cambridge business community to celebrate these
change agents and their extraordinary impact on improving the lives
of others.
