HILLTOP
SubstationNorth Carolina
HILLTOP is an electric transmission substation in North Carolina. It is classified as distribution (69–115 kv) and connects 10 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.
