For more than 50 years, Virginia Transformer has been engineering the industry’s finest and most robust transformers, which is why UPPCO trusted us to deliver a unit for their substation in Ishpeming, Michigan. Crafted at our Roanoke facility and designed with a 60-year lifespan, this 7/10 MVA, 138/12.47 kV power distribution unit will help provide decades of reliable power to the local community.

Established in 1947, the Upper Peninsula Power Company (UPPCO) is an electrical power utility provider headquartered in Marquette, Michigan, with service centers in Escanaba, Houghton, Iron River, Ishpeming, Munising and Ontonagon. The company serves approximately 52,000 customers.

Virginia Transformer is proud to support UPPCO and utilities projects across the country. Congratulations to our manufacturers’ representative from TEPS Inc., Jim Schaut, who led this sale, and all those involved who helped to design, manufacture, and deliver this unit.
