Bever Dam East Substation | 138 kV Electrical Infrastructure in the United States

Bever Dam East is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 43.475919, -88.809197. The facility operates at a voltage of 138 kV, classifying it as a high-voltage substation critical for transmission and distribution within the regional grid. Operating under the regulatory framework of the United States, this substation adheres to NERC reliability standards and FERC regulations for transmission-level assets. The 138 kV voltage level is typical for sub-transmission or distribution substations, serving to step down power from higher transmission voltages for local distribution. The substation's location in a rural or suburban area of Wisconsin suggests it supports agricultural or residential communities. Its operational status ensures continued reliability of the local electrical infrastructure, contributing to grid stability and energy access for the surrounding region.

The substation is situated in a rural area of Wisconsin, where the local environment includes agricultural lands and natural habitats. Electrical infrastructure like this can impact local ecosystems through electromagnetic fields and land use, though modern designs minimize such effects. The 138 kV voltage level indicates moderate environmental considerations, typical for substations in less densely populated regions.
