Midstream Energy Substation - Operational 115 kV Substation in the United States

Midstream Energy Substation is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 35.513375, -101.405430. The facility operates at a voltage of 115 kV, classifying it as a high-voltage substation that supports transmission and distribution networks. The substation operates under the regulatory framework of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which enforce reliability standards for bulk power systems. At 115 kV, this facility is typical of sub-transmission or distribution-level infrastructure, serving to step down voltage for local distribution or interconnect regional grids. As part of the U.S. electrical grid, this substation contributes to the reliable delivery of electricity to surrounding communities and industries. Its operational status ensures continued support for grid stability and energy security in the region.

The substation is located in a region characterized by semi-arid climate and open plains, typical of the Texas Panhandle area. Electrical infrastructure in such settings often faces challenges related to extreme weather events, including high winds and temperature fluctuations. The 115 kV voltage level indicates a role in distributing power to rural or suburban areas, where environmental considerations include minimizing land use and ensuring resilience against local climate conditions.
