SHUTTLE
SubstationCalifornia · SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON
At a glance
SHUTTLE is an electric transmission substation in California, on SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON's transmission network. It is classified as distribution (<69 kv) and connects 3 transmission lines. 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.
