8. A method comprising:
accessing power from a utility electric grid;
operating at least two transformer units, in parallel, to modify line voltage of the power from the utility electric grid;
transmitting the power from the at least two transformer units through a switchgear to an electric motor via an open air relay cable; and
performing a hydraulic fracturing action via a hydraulic fracturing pump using the power within the electric motor.
