AT&T Substation - 138 kV Operational Substation in the United States

AT&T Substation is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 40.629398, -75.449329. The facility operates at a voltage of 138 kV, placing it in the medium-to-high voltage range typical for sub-transmission and distribution substations. As part of the U.S. electrical infrastructure, it contributes to the reliable delivery of electricity to local communities and industrial users. The substation operates under the regulatory framework of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which enforce reliability standards for the bulk power system. The 138 kV voltage level is commonly used for sub-transmission networks that connect high-voltage transmission lines to lower-voltage distribution systems. Such substations are critical for maintaining grid stability and voltage control. AT&T Substation supports the operational needs of the telecommunications sector, ensuring backup power and grid connectivity for critical communications infrastructure. Its location in the northeastern United States places it within a region with high electricity demand and a well-developed grid. The facility's operational status indicates ongoing contribution to the resilience and reliability of the local electrical network.

The substation is located in an area with a mix of urban and suburban development, typical of the northeastern United States. The surrounding environment includes residential and commercial zones, with potential impacts from electromagnetic fields and noise. The facility's 138 kV voltage level requires adherence to safety and environmental standards to minimize ecological disruption. Local climate conditions, including seasonal storms, may influence operational practices and maintenance schedules.
