Montague Substation - Operational 115 kV Substation in the United States

Montague Substation is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 37.415405, -121.888466. The facility operates at a voltage of 115 kV, classifying it as a medium-voltage substation within the electrical infrastructure network. As a substation in the United States, Montague Substation operates under the regulatory framework of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). These standards ensure grid reliability and compliance with transmission-level requirements. The 115 kV voltage level is typical for subtransmission or distribution substations, serving to step down power from higher voltage transmission lines for local distribution. The substation's location in the United States places it within a well-regulated electrical grid, where aging infrastructure and urban demand are key considerations. Its operational status indicates it actively contributes to the stability and reliability of the local power supply, supporting residential, commercial, or industrial loads in the region.

The substation is located in an area with a mix of urban and suburban development, typical of the broader region. Electrical infrastructure at this voltage level often interfaces with local distribution networks, and its environmental impact is primarily related to land use and electromagnetic fields.
