CIA Substation - High-Voltage Electrical Substation in the United States

CIA Substation is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 38.950533, -77.147821. The facility operates at a voltage of 230 kV, classifying it as a high-voltage substation critical for transmission-level grid stability. The substation operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, which includes NERC reliability standards and FERC oversight for transmission assets. At 230 kV, this facility is typical of medium-to-large scale substations that interconnect regional power systems and support bulk electricity transfer. As part of the U.S. electrical infrastructure, CIA Substation contributes to grid reliability and energy distribution. Its operational status ensures continued support for local and regional electricity demand, aligning with sector standards for safety and performance.

The substation is located in an urban or suburban area near Washington, D.C., where electrical infrastructure is critical for high-density demand. The 230 kV voltage level indicates a role in regional transmission, with potential environmental considerations related to electromagnetic fields and land use. Standard mitigation measures such as vegetation management and equipment insulation are typically employed.
