Full Description

Scope

This guide identifies significant community acceptance and environmental compatibility items to be considered during the planning and design phases, the construction period, and the operation of electric supply substations, and documents ways to address these concerns to obtain community acceptance and environmental compatibillity. On-site generation and telecommunication facilities are not considered.

Purpose

Approvals for new substations or even expansions of existing facilities can be subjected to extensive review for community acceptance and environmental compatibility. A variety of permits are often required by the governing bodies before construction of a substation may begin. Concerns are being voiced by governmental agencies and community groups in areas not considered necessary heretofore in the permitting process. In some instances, land acquired for substations years in advance of construction is deemed impossible to build on under present expectations and requirements.
