BAYOU COVE PEAKING POWER
SubstationLouisiana · ENTERGY
BAYOU COVE PEAKING POWER is an electric transmission substation in Louisiana, operated by ENTERGY. 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.
