Revloc Substation is an operational electrical substation located in Pennsylvania, United States. Operated by Penelec, it is part of the regional transmission and distribution network, stepping down voltage for local distribution. The substation operates at a voltage of 46 kV, which is typical for sub-transmission or distribution-level infrastructure. As a Penelec facility, it falls under the regulatory oversight of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and must comply with North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) reliability standards to ensure grid stability. This substation plays a key role in delivering electricity to the surrounding community. Its operational status indicates ongoing contribution to the local power supply, supporting residential, commercial, and industrial customers in the region.
Environmental context
The substation is located in a rural area of Pennsylvania, where electrical infrastructure is critical for maintaining reliable power to dispersed communities. The 46 kV voltage level suggests it serves as a distribution substation, with lower environmental footprint compared to high-voltage transmission facilities. Local environmental considerations include proximity to natural habitats and the need for vegetation management to prevent outages.
