OAK ST Substation | Electrical Infrastructure in the United States

OAK ST is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 44.448661, -88.076501. The facility operates at voltage levels of 69 kV and 24.9 kV, indicating it serves both sub-transmission and distribution functions within the electrical grid. As a substation, it is a critical node for stepping down high-voltage electricity for local distribution. The substation operates under the regulatory framework of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which set reliability standards for the bulk power system. The facility's voltage levels suggest it is part of the medium-voltage network, typical for urban or suburban distribution systems in the United States. Substations of this scale often use switchgear and transformers compliant with IEEE standards. This substation contributes to the reliability of the local electrical infrastructure by ensuring stable voltage levels and facilitating power flow to end users. Its operational status and location in the United States place it within a well-regulated environment focused on grid resilience and safety. The facility supports community energy needs without specific environmental impact data available.

The substation is located in a region with a temperate climate, which influences electrical infrastructure design for seasonal load variations. Urban or suburban siting typically requires noise mitigation and electromagnetic field management. The facility's voltage levels are standard for distribution networks, with minimal direct environmental footprint beyond land use and visual impact.
