The town of Beverley is fed from the Northern Substation via the York Feeder. Western Power recently commissioned one 500kVA capacitor at York townsite and will install a second by December 31, 2001. These capacitors, which together cost $50,000, will improve voltage on the feeder to Beverley. A further $125,000 will be spent on installing a three-phase regulator on the York - Beverley line by December 31 2001. The following year, Western Power will spend $600,000 upgrading to 33kV the line between Northam and York. 2) Funds, totalling $705,000, are available during the current financial year. A further $600,000 will be available in the 2002/03 financial year.
