"By spotting these problems ahead of time and repairing them ahead of time, if there is a problem we reduce the length and complexity of outages for our customers," said Gross.
Gross says one-third of that $33 million has been spent upgrading transformers at substations in the lower Fairfield County area where summertime demand is especially high.
CL&P serves 1.2 million customers in 149 cities and towns across Connecticut.
