BUZZARD ROOST GT
SubstationNorth Carolina · DUKE ENERGY CAROLINAS, LLC
BUZZARD ROOST GT is an electric transmission substation in North Carolina, operated by DUKE ENERGY CAROLINAS, LLC. It is classified as distribution (69–115 kv) and connects 4 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.
