SANTA CRUZ
SubstationCalifornia · MODESTO IRRIGATION DISTRICT
SANTA CRUZ is an electric transmission substation in California, operated by MODESTO IRRIGATION DISTRICT. It is classified as distribution (69–115 kv) and connects 1 transmission line. Substation proximity is one of the strongest speed-to-power signals for siting a datacenter — interconnection distance to an energized, high-voltage bus is often the binding constraint on time-to-energization.
