Flournoy Substation - 138 kV Operational Substation in the United States

Flournoy Substation is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 32.448893, -93.920298. The facility operates at a voltage of 138 kV, which classifies it as a high-voltage substation critical for transmission and distribution within the local grid. Operating under the regulatory framework of the United States, the substation adheres to NERC reliability standards and FERC regulations for transmission-level assets. The 138 kV voltage level is typical for sub-transmission or distribution substations, serving to step down power from higher transmission voltages for regional distribution. The substation's operational status ensures continued support for grid stability and electricity supply to the surrounding area. Its location in the southern United States places it within a region with growing energy demand, highlighting its importance in maintaining reliable electrical infrastructure.

The substation is located in a region with a humid subtropical climate, which can affect equipment performance and maintenance schedules. The 138 kV voltage level indicates a role in distributing power to urban or industrial areas, where environmental considerations include electromagnetic field management and land use compatibility.
