TENASKA GATEWAY GENERATING STATION
SubstationTexas · SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRIC POWER CO.
TENASKA GATEWAY GENERATING STATION is an electric transmission substation in Texas, operated by SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRIC POWER CO.. It is classified as sub-transmission (138 kv) and connects 1 transmission line. 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.
