FedEx to open its own power substation in July
“Whenever MLGW makes changes to our system for new customers, or for additional load from existing customers, we do it in such a way as to not adversely impact our existing customers,” MLGW said. (Patrick Lantrip/The Daily Memphian file)
FedEx Corp.’s 55,000-square-foot substation — part of its $1.5 billion World Hub expansion at Memphis International Airport — is scheduled to open next month.
The substation is on Democrat Road and will provide power to the hub without straining the Memphis Light, Gas and Water grid.
“This is another step in modernizing our hub,” FedEx said in a prepared statement. “The new substation will provide dedicated power to FedEx, which will result in higher reliability and better power quality.”
