Electrical District No. 5 Substation - High-Voltage Substation in the United States

Electrical District No. 5 Substation is an operational substation located in the United States, with coordinates 32.603606, -111.569766. The facility operates at a voltage level of 230 kV, classifying it as a high-voltage substation critical for transmission and distribution of electricity across the region. The substation operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, which includes NERC reliability standards and FERC oversight for transmission-level assets. At 230 kV, this facility is typical of medium-to-large scale substations that serve as key nodes in the electrical grid, stepping down voltage for local distribution or interconnecting transmission lines. As part of the Electrical District No. 5 system, this substation supports grid stability and reliable power delivery to surrounding communities and industries. Its operational status ensures continued service in a region where electrical infrastructure is vital for economic activity and daily life.

The substation is located in a semi-arid region of the southwestern United States, where high temperatures and low humidity can affect equipment performance and maintenance cycles. The facility's 230 kV operation places it in a critical role for grid stability, particularly during peak demand periods common in the area. Its location in a rural or suburban setting may influence land use and visual impact, though substations typically have a localized environmental footprint.
