Once placed on order, the actual delivery time can be more accurately quoted and possibly improved upon. Concerning the differences between what I have provided and the quote from Hugo Hodge I offer the following. Mr Hodge would be providing, at extreme mark up, a 'pie in the sky switch specified by WAPA when a second under sea line was to be added to create a 'loop' circuit for WAPA to feed from one end or the other. Extremely costly and wholly unnecessary in my opinion. The switch quoted through me is exactly what is present now and has already been approved by WAPA for the system as is. If GSJ is to be fed from LSJ the project would not involve the main switch or WAPA in general. Power would come from the switchboard in the generator building so as to allow the generators to back up GSJ also. WAPA would only be involved if a change to the metering or the accounting is to happen of which neither need be changed to accommodate GSJ. If separate metering for GSJ is desired that can be accommodated with a sub meter being installed on LSJ at the time the new feeder is installed. This conversation could go on much longer but in the mean time the replacement main switch needs to be ordered. If you have further questions please let me know. Thanks, MG. EFTA01059431
