Clear Creek Substation - Ohio Electrical Substation Operated by Holmes-Wayne Electric Cooperative

Clear Creek Substation is an operational electrical substation located in Ohio, United States. Owned and operated by Holmes-Wayne Electric Cooperative, this facility plays a role in the regional electrical infrastructure, stepping down transmission voltage for local distribution. The substation operates at a voltage of 69 kV, which is typical for sub-transmission or distribution-level facilities in rural electric cooperative networks. In the United States, such substations are subject to NERC reliability standards for grid stability and FERC regulations for interstate power transmission, though cooperatives often have additional state-level oversight. As part of the Holmes-Wayne Electric Cooperative system, Clear Creek Substation supports electricity delivery to member consumers in rural Ohio. Its operational status ensures continued service to the community, contributing to the reliability of the local power grid.

The substation is located in a rural area of Ohio, where electrical infrastructure supports agricultural and residential loads. The 69 kV voltage level indicates a distribution-class facility, which typically has lower environmental impact than high-voltage transmission lines. Local environmental considerations include land use for right-of-way maintenance and potential electromagnetic field effects, though these are managed through standard utility practices.
