Memorial Substation - 138 kV Electrical Substation in the United States

Memorial Substation is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 35.595567, -97.505444. The facility operates at a voltage of 138 kV, classifying it as a high-voltage substation critical for transmission and distribution within the regional power grid. The substation operates under the regulatory framework of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), ensuring compliance with reliability standards for bulk power systems. As a 138 kV facility, it is typical of medium-to-high voltage substations that interconnect transmission lines and distribute power to local networks. This substation supports grid stability and electricity delivery to surrounding communities and industrial users. Its operational status ensures continued service within the broader electrical infrastructure of the United States, contributing to energy reliability and resilience.

The substation is located in an area with a temperate climate, typical of the central United States. Its operation involves electromagnetic fields and potential impacts on local wildlife, though modern substations are designed to minimize ecological disruption. The facility's voltage level and urban proximity influence its environmental footprint, with standard mitigation measures in place.
