Cadwell Substation - Operational 46 kV Electrical Substation in the United States

Cadwell Substation is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 32.339670, -83.045299. The facility operates at a voltage level of 46 kV, classifying it as a medium-voltage substation within the electrical infrastructure network. The substation operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, which includes NERC reliability standards and FERC oversight for transmission-level assets. The 46 kV voltage level suggests it serves distribution or sub-transmission functions, typical for rural or suburban areas. The facility's operational status indicates it is actively contributing to the local power grid. Its location in the southeastern US, a region with growing energy demand, underscores its importance in maintaining reliable electricity supply. The substation supports community energy needs and grid resilience.

The substation is located in a region with a humid subtropical climate, which can affect equipment longevity and maintenance schedules. The 46 kV voltage level suggests it is a distribution substation, likely serving residential and commercial areas. Its rural or suburban setting may reduce environmental impact compared to urban substations, but proximity to natural areas could require vegetation management to prevent outages.
