Bulk Mail Fac Substation - 138 kV Operational Substation in the United States

Bulk Mail Fac Substation is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 40.663521, -80.110784. The facility operates at a voltage level of 138 kV, classifying it as a high-voltage substation that plays a critical role in the transmission and distribution of electricity within the regional grid. The substation operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, which includes compliance with 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 facility's location in the northeastern U.S. suggests it supports a mix of urban and industrial load centers. As part of the electrical infrastructure, Bulk Mail Fac Substation contributes to grid stability and reliability by facilitating the efficient transfer of electricity. Its operational status ensures continued service to the surrounding community, supporting residential, commercial, and industrial electricity needs. The substation's role is integral to maintaining a resilient power supply in the region.

The substation is located in a region with a temperate climate, which influences the design and maintenance of electrical equipment. The 138 kV voltage level indicates moderate environmental footprint, as higher voltages typically require larger clearances and more extensive land use. The facility's location near urban areas may necessitate measures to mitigate electromagnetic fields and visual impact, though specific environmental assessments are not detailed.
