C-35 (DOE)
SubstationIllinois · GRIDLIANCE
C-35 (DOE) is an electric transmission substation in Illinois, operated by GRIDLIANCE. It is classified as sub-transmission (138 kv) and connects 5 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.
