NASA enlists Panhandle Power Solutions for $9.7 million transmission, distribution project at Kennedy Space Center
(UI) – Panhandle Power Solutions has secured a $9.7 million contract from NASA for a major transmission and distribution project at Kennedy Space Center.
The awarded contract will involve the installation of 4.5 miles of both overhead (OH) and underground (UG) primary distribution lines, a crucial upgrade to the existing infrastructure at the preeminent launch complex for Government and commercial space access.
The project is set to commence in October 2024, with PPS in-house engineering leading the design effort. Construction is scheduled to start soon after and is expected to be completed within a year.
"This contract award is a testament to our team's expertise in executing complex projects that align with the high standards set by our federal partners," commented Josh Bettinger, VP, Federal. "Our federal division looks forward to growing our strategic presence in Central Florida and along the Space Coast."
This latest contract contributes to PPS's extensive, ongoing portfolio of underground and overhead primary distribution upgrades and replacement projects, which the company has provided its federal clients for the last two decades.
It also adds to a growing list of ongoing transmission and distribution work across Central Florida, which spans MacDill Air Force Base, the National Reconnaissance Office, and Patrick Space Force Base.
