Overview
Ordnance Junction Substation is an operational electrical substation in the United States, operating at 138 kV. It plays a role in regional grid stability and power distribution.
Ordnance Junction Substation is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 40.707686, -84.129420. 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), which enforce 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 as key nodes in the electrical infrastructure. The environmental context of the substation includes its location in an area that may be subject to local climate conditions affecting grid operations. The facility's role in the electrical network supports community energy needs and contributes to the overall resilience of the power system in the region.
Environmental context
The substation is located in a region with a temperate climate, where seasonal weather patterns can influence grid operations. As a high-voltage facility, it is designed to withstand typical environmental stresses, and its location in a developed area means it integrates with existing land use and infrastructure.
