Tideland EMC

How power gets to you

Tideland is unique in that we have three different transmission providers serving our eight delivery point substations. North of the Pamlico River transmission is provided by Dominion Resources. South of the Pamlico, Duke Energy Progress is our transmission link. And at Ocracoke, we rely on Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative for transmission from Oregon Inlet to Hatteras.

Beyond those delivery point substations, we have nine distribution substations.

For example, the Pantego delivery point feeds the Mattamuskeet substation, which in turn, feeds the Swindell Fork, Fairfield and Engelhard distribution substations. The Pantego delivery point also feeds our Sidney and Ponzer substations. South of the Pamlico, our Silver Hill delivery point in Grantsboro provides service to the Arapahoe substation.

Find maps of our substations online at our storm center.
