Overview
Nauvoo (Bogota) Subtation is an operational substation in Tennessee, United States, owned by Forked Deer Electric Cooperative. It operates at 161 kV and 13.2 kV, serving the local grid.
Nauvoo (Bogota) Subtation is a substation located in Tennessee, United States, owned and operated by Forked Deer Electric Cooperative. The facility is operational and plays a role in the regional electrical infrastructure, stepping down transmission voltage for local distribution. The substation operates at two voltage levels: 161 kV for transmission and 13.2 kV for distribution, which is typical for a medium-scale substation serving rural and suburban areas. As part of the U.S. grid, it falls under NERC reliability standards and FERC regulation for transmission-level assets, ensuring grid stability and compliance. The facility supports the Forked Deer Electric Cooperative's service area, providing reliable electricity to its members. Its location in rural Tennessee contributes to the region's energy resilience, connecting local communities to the broader transmission network.
Environmental context
The substation is situated in a rural area of Tennessee, where the surrounding landscape includes agricultural land and small communities. The 161 kV transmission line connects to the regional grid, while the 13.2 kV distribution serves local customers. The facility's environmental impact is minimal, typical of substations, with no significant emissions or land disturbance beyond the fenced area.
