The endpoint in Maryland would be a proposed electrical substation in Kemptown, Maryland, that would be in a residential area surrounded by about 1,300 houses. [4] The Kemptown substation would have been the largest substation ever built by Allegheny Power. [5] The project was cancelled by PJM Interconnection in 2011. [6]
A substation is a part of an electrical generation, transmission, and distribution system. Substations transform voltage from high to low, or the reverse, or perform any of several other important functions. Between the generating station and the consumer, electric power may flow through several substations at different voltage levels.
The 230 kV line (smaller tower to the right) crosses I-80 as well after leaving the substation. This section of the transmission line between the Table Mountain Substation (near Oroville) and the Tesla Substation (near Tracy) is one of the two PG&E 500 kV lines. The lines often run together (see below map), but in this area they are split apart.
Electrical grid and power plants in the US. The United States is home to a wide variety of power stations. The list below outlines power stations of significance by type, or by the state in which they reside.
Since the interties may consist of multiple power-lines, the maximum voltage used is shown in the table below. Some of the links such as Path 65, the Pacific DC Intertie, do consist of a single transmission line, so the maximum voltage is the voltage used.

The two major and three minor NERC interconnections, and the nine NERC Regional Reliability Councils. 735 kV substation near the Robert-Bourassa generating station. Hydro-Québec's electricity transmission system (also known as the Quebec interconnection) is an international electric power transmission system centred in Quebec, Canada.
The E. F. Barrett facility is also planned to serve the interconnection point for the Empire Wind offshore wind farm project, after then-State Senator Todd Kaminsky and Island Park Mayor Michael McGinty lobbied for the connection to be moved from the originally planned Gowanus Substation in Brooklyn. [9] The facility occupies around 127 acres. [8]
