Paria Substation - Operational 69 kV Electrical Substation in the United States

Paria Substation is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 37.167766, -111.968867. The facility operates at a voltage of 69 kV, placing it in the medium-voltage range typical for distribution-level substations that serve local communities and industrial areas. Operating under the regulatory framework of the United States, this substation is subject to NERC reliability standards and FERC oversight for grid stability. The 69 kV voltage level is common for sub-transmission or distribution networks, often connecting to higher-voltage transmission lines or supplying power to local distribution grids. As part of the broader electrical infrastructure, Paria Substation contributes to the reliable delivery of electricity in its region. Its operational status ensures continued support for local power needs, and its integration into the grid helps maintain system balance and resilience.

The substation is located in a rural area of the United States, where electrical infrastructure supports sparse population and industrial activities. The 69 kV voltage level indicates a medium-scale facility that may have minimal local environmental footprint, with typical considerations including electromagnetic fields and land use for access roads and equipment.
