Meyer Rd Substation - 138 kV Electrical Infrastructure in the United States

United States

Overview

Meyer Rd is an operational electrical substation in the United States, operating at 138 kV. It plays a role in regional grid stability and power distribution.

Meyer Rd is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 43.903337, -88.100641. The facility operates at a voltage of 138 kV, classifying it as a high-voltage substation critical for transmission and distribution within the regional 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 serve local distribution networks. This substation contributes to the reliability and resilience of the electrical infrastructure in its region. Its operational status and voltage level indicate its importance in maintaining grid stability and supporting electricity delivery to residential, commercial, and industrial consumers.

Environmental context

The substation is situated in a region with a temperate climate, where seasonal weather variations can impact grid operations. Its location in a rural or suburban area may influence land use and vegetation management practices to ensure safe operation. The facility's 138 kV voltage level suggests it is part of the transmission network, which has a moderate environmental footprint primarily related to land use and electromagnetic fields.
