NAVFAC Southwest Completes Electrical System Upgrade at NAS Lemoore

NAVFAC Southwest and its partners joined forces on Aug. 30 for a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating an important electrical system upgrade at Naval Air Station Lemoore.
The project upgrades and expands the electrical system that powers the OPS side of the base.
As part of the work, crews upgraded the existing 20 MW transformer and added a second 20 MW transformer that will provide redundancy and resiliency in case the main transformer experiences issues.
NAS Lemoore also received a secondary 69kV electrical power feed to the base, as well as a new 69kV metering station. Aging switchgear equipment installed in the 1960s was removed.
NAVFAC Southwest proudly partnered with a quality design and contractor team to take this project from conception to completion. The work took just over two years and cost $20.6M.
NAVFAC Southwest awarded a contract, March 25, 2021 in San Diego to Synergy Electric Company of Santee, Calif. The Engineering Partners were selected as the design partner on this project.
Synergy Electric Company is no stranger to military construction projects in the southwest. Synergy has worked on 20 NAVFAC Southwest projects, totaling an award amount of $86.5 Million.
