Great Escape Substation - Operational 34.5 kV Substation in the United States

Great Escape Substation is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 43.349723, -73.684880. The facility operates at a voltage level of 34.5 kV, classifying it as a medium-voltage substation typical of distribution-level infrastructure. As a substation in the United States, Great Escape Substation operates under the regulatory framework of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). These bodies enforce reliability standards and oversee transmission-level assets, ensuring grid stability and compliance with mandatory standards. The substation plays a critical role in local power distribution, stepping down voltage for residential and commercial use. Its operational status contributes to the reliability of the electrical grid in the region, supporting community energy needs and industrial activity.

The substation is located in a region with a temperate climate, where seasonal weather variations can impact grid operations. Its voltage level and distribution role mean it is less likely to have significant direct environmental impacts compared to generation facilities, but it supports the integration of renewable energy sources and helps maintain grid stability in the area.
