Overview
Baileyville Substation is an operational electrical substation in Kansas, United States, operated by Evergy. It operates at 115 kV, serving as a key node in the regional power grid.
Baileyville Substation is an operational electrical substation located in Kansas, United States, and operated by Evergy. As a 115 kV substation, it plays a critical role in stepping down transmission-level voltage for local distribution, supporting the reliability of the regional power grid. The substation operates under the regulatory framework of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which enforce standards for grid stability and cybersecurity. Evergy, a major investor-owned utility serving Kansas and Missouri, manages this facility as part of its extensive transmission and distribution network. This substation contributes to the electrical infrastructure serving rural and agricultural communities in northeastern Kansas. Its 115 kV voltage level is typical for sub-transmission systems that connect bulk power to local distribution networks, ensuring reliable electricity supply to residential, commercial, and industrial customers in the area.
Environmental context
The substation is situated in a rural area of Kansas, characterized by agricultural land and low population density. The 115 kV voltage level indicates a sub-transmission role, with moderate environmental footprint primarily related to land use and electromagnetic fields. Typical substations in this region are subject to regular maintenance under NERC reliability standards.
