Quahada Substation - Operational 115 kV Substation in the United States

Quahada Substation is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 32.616261, -103.784560. The facility operates at a voltage level of 115 kV, classifying it as a medium-voltage substation typical for regional power distribution and transmission support. As a substation in the United States, Quahada Substation operates under the regulatory framework of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). These bodies enforce reliability standards and ensure grid stability. The 115 kV voltage level is common for sub-transmission systems that connect distribution networks to higher-voltage transmission lines. The substation's operational status indicates it is actively contributing to the electrical infrastructure. Its location in a rural area of the United States suggests it may serve local communities or industrial loads. The facility's role in the grid helps maintain reliable power supply and supports the integration of renewable energy sources where applicable.

The substation is located in a rural area of the United States, characterized by arid climate and low population density. The 115 kV voltage level indicates it is part of the sub-transmission network, which typically has lower environmental impact compared to high-voltage lines. The facility's operation is subject to NERC environmental standards for electromagnetic fields and land use.
