Sheridan Substation | 69 kV Electrical Infrastructure in the United States

Sheridan is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 44.400611, -89.183850. The facility operates at a voltage level of 69 kV, which is typical for sub-transmission or distribution-level infrastructure, serving to step down power for local distribution networks. As a substation in the United States, Sheridan operates under the regulatory framework of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) reliability standards and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) oversight for transmission-level assets. The 69 kV voltage class is commonly used for regional power distribution, connecting higher-voltage transmission lines to lower-voltage distribution networks. The substation's location in a rural area of Wisconsin suggests it likely serves agricultural and small community loads, contributing to local grid resilience and power quality. Its operational status indicates ongoing maintenance and compliance with grid reliability requirements.

The substation is situated in a rural area of Wisconsin, characterized by agricultural land and scattered woodlands. The 69 kV voltage level indicates a distribution or sub-transmission role, with potential environmental considerations including electromagnetic field management and vegetation clearance for right-of-way maintenance. The facility's location away from dense urban areas reduces exposure to sensitive receptors.
