A new converter station is being built close to Peterhead power station from where high voltage direct current cables will be laid on the seabed.

One of the first West Coast reinforced concrete structures, the steam plant originally powered the Interurban Railway between Seattle and Tacoma and supplied direct current for Seattle streetcars and alternating current for Georgetown.

Tesla’s Supercharger network is coveted by other automakers because it has more direct current fast-charging plugs in the U.S. than any other network, and its stations are in prime locations along freeway travel corridors.

Both produce a direct current that can be converted into electricity immediately or stored in batteries for future use.

Once the construction is completed, it will convert 1,250 megawatts of clean energy from direct current to alternating current power that will be fed directly into the state's power grid.
