Risk: Medium Substation Operational

Jesse L Terry Substation - Florida Electrical Substation Operated by FPUC

United States

Overview

Jesse L Terry Substation is an operational electrical substation in Florida, United States, operated by FPUC. It handles voltages of 69 kV and 12.4 kV, serving the local grid.

Jesse L Terry Substation is an operational electrical substation located in Florida, United States. Owned and operated by FPUC, this facility plays a key role in the regional power distribution network, stepping down transmission voltages for local use. The substation operates at voltage levels of 69,000 volts (69 kV) and 12,400 volts (12.4 kV), typical for a medium-voltage substation that connects transmission lines to distribution circuits. As part of the U.S. electrical infrastructure, it falls under NERC reliability standards and FERC regulation, ensuring grid stability and compliance with federal guidelines. Located in a coastal region of Florida, the substation supports the electrical needs of nearby communities and critical infrastructure. Its operational status and voltage capacity indicate its importance in maintaining reliable power supply, particularly during peak demand or extreme weather events common to the area.

Environmental context

The substation is situated in a coastal Florida environment, where electrical infrastructure must withstand hurricane-force winds and saltwater corrosion. The 69 kV and 12.4 kV voltage levels suggest it serves a mix of urban and suburban loads, requiring robust design for storm resilience. Its location near the coast may also involve environmental considerations for stormwater management and wildlife protection, though specific designations are not confirmed.
