Risk: Low Substation Operational

Romeo Substation - Operational 40 kV Electrical Substation in the United States

United States

Overview

Romeo Substation is an operational electrical substation in the United States, handling 40 kV voltage. It plays a role in regional grid stability and power distribution.

Romeo Substation is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 42.802367, -83.006896. The facility operates at a voltage of 40 kV, classifying it as a medium-voltage substation typical for local distribution networks. The substation operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, which includes NERC reliability standards and FERC oversight for transmission-level assets. The facility is part of the broader electrical infrastructure that ensures reliable power delivery to surrounding communities. As a substation, Romeo Substation serves a critical function in stepping down voltage for local distribution or interconnecting transmission lines. Its operational status indicates ongoing contribution to grid stability and electricity supply in the region. The facility's location in a rural or suburban area may influence its role in supporting residential and commercial power needs.

Environmental context

The substation's location in a rural or suburban area of the United States means it likely interfaces with overhead or underground distribution lines. The 40 kV voltage level suggests it serves as a distribution substation, potentially feeding local transformers. Environmental considerations for such facilities include electromagnetic field management, oil containment for transformers, and vegetation clearance for line safety.
