GLENHAM
SubstationSouth Dakota · MONTANA-DAKOTA UTILITIES CO.
GLENHAM is an electric transmission substation in South Dakota, operated by MONTANA-DAKOTA UTILITIES CO.. It is classified as high-voltage (230 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.
