The Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority announced that its Transmission and Distribution engineers are taking part in a High Voltage Substation Design Course aligned with efforts to modernize grid resilience and reliability. The four-day online training began on Monday, Jan. 26, and concludes today, Thursday, Jan. 29, with 14 WAPA engineers from both districts participating. Facilitated by BII World, a globally recognized provider of power industry education, the course highlights the critical role of high-voltage substations and equips WAPA engineers with the skills to plan, design, and upgrade these important facilities. This training equips WAPA engineers to help enhance power delivery for residents and businesses. “Investing in our engineers’ technical development ensures we can respond effectively to the evolving needs of the grid,” said Collin Brown, Director of Transmission and Distribution.
