E New Town Substation - Operational 115 kV Substation in the United States

E New Town Substation is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 47.976353, -102.486817. The facility operates at a voltage level of 115 kV, which classifies it as a medium-voltage substation typical for regional power distribution and sub-transmission networks. As a substation in the United States, E New Town Substation operates under the regulatory framework of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) reliability standards and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) oversight for transmission-level assets. The 115 kV voltage level is common for sub-transmission systems that connect distribution networks to higher-voltage transmission lines, often serving industrial or rural areas. The substation's operational status indicates it is actively contributing to the electrical grid. Its location in a rural area of the United States suggests it may serve local communities or support agricultural and energy infrastructure. Substations like this are critical for maintaining grid stability and ensuring reliable power delivery to end users.

The substation is located in a rural area of the United States, where electrical infrastructure often supports agricultural operations and energy development. The 115 kV voltage level is typical for sub-transmission lines that traverse open landscapes, with minimal direct environmental impact. However, substations can influence local wildlife through electromagnetic fields and habitat fragmentation, though modern designs incorporate mitigation measures.
