Del Norte Substation: Operational Electrical Substation in the United States

Del Norte Substation is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 41.867614, -124.139184. It operates at voltage levels of 115 kV and 69 kV, indicating its role in transmission and sub-transmission networks. The substation operates under the regulatory framework of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which set reliability standards for the bulk power system. The voltage levels suggest it is a medium-scale facility critical for local grid stability and power distribution. As part of the U.S. electrical infrastructure, Del Norte Substation contributes to the reliability of the regional power grid. Its location in a rural area underscores its importance in connecting remote generation sources to load centers, supporting community energy needs.

The substation is located in a rural area near the Pacific coast, where environmental considerations include potential impacts on local ecosystems and wildlife. The facility's voltage levels and operational status indicate it is designed to integrate with the regional grid while minimizing land use and electromagnetic field effects.
