Maloney Substation - 115 kV Electrical Substation in the United States

Maloney Substation is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 41.089748, -100.811511. The facility operates at a voltage of 115 kV, placing it within the sub-transmission or distribution voltage range typical for regional power distribution. The substation operates under the regulatory framework of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which set reliability standards for the bulk power system. As a 115 kV facility, it likely plays a role in stepping down power from higher transmission voltages for local distribution or interconnecting regional networks. Maloney Substation contributes to grid stability and reliability in its area by facilitating the efficient transfer of electrical power. Its operational status ensures continued service to local communities and industries, supporting the broader electrical infrastructure of the United States.

The substation is located in a rural area of the United States, where electrical infrastructure supports agricultural and residential loads. The 115 kV voltage level indicates it is part of the sub-transmission network, which typically has lower environmental impact than high-voltage transmission lines. The facility's design and operation must comply with NERC environmental standards for noise, electromagnetic fields, and land use.
