How the System Works 2
Location Property was purchased in the 1960s for a potential substation site. Located adjacent to an existing 115kV transmission line. Only requires short taps to connect transmission to station. Centrally located to address the load relief issues in the Bethlehem – Delmar region. Distribution lines can be built in close proximity to serve load. Load – The amount of ‘electric power’ delivered (or required) at any specified point on a circuit to serve customers. Minimal environmental impacts No potential forest impacts No potential wetland or stream impacts 3
Project Drivers The primary driver for the proposed Van Dyke substation is load relief within in the Bethlehem – Delmar region. Improved reliability Decrease the number of outages Decrease the length of outages when they do occur This project will resolve two existing issues; Juniper Substation is currently exceeding its capacity. Voorheesville Substation is currently the single source for supplying several distribution circuits which has become a reliability issue. 4
Project Drivers The new station will allow for the ultimate retirement of the Delmar and Juniper Substations. The Delmar Station (est.1950’s) has a number of equipment related issues which needs to be addressed in the next few years. The Juniper Station was built in the 1980’s to serve the residential housing developments along the Delmar Bypass. The new Van Dyke Station will also add the capacity necessary to provide service to the new Vista Tech Park. One-third of the station load will serve the Vista Tech Park while the remaining two-thirds will serve the Bethlehem – Delmar region. 5
