Devers Substation

Devers Substation. The Devers Substation is a critical component of the Western United States power grid, playing a key role in the transmission of electricity from Arizona Public Service and Imperial Irrigation District to Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and San Diego Gas & Electric. It is connected to the Path 46 transmission line, which spans from Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station to Los Angeles. The substation is also linked to the California Independent System Operator, which manages the flow of electricity across the state, including Pacific Gas and Electric Company and Sacramento Municipal Utility District.

Introduction

The Devers Substation is a high-voltage electrical substation located in Riverside County, California, near the city of Perris, California. It was built by Bechtel Group and AECOM, with the primary goal of increasing the reliability and efficiency of the regional power grid, which includes Tucson Electric Power and UniSource Energy Services. The substation is equipped with advanced technology, including Siemens and General Electric systems, to monitor and control the flow of electricity from Navajo Generating Station and Four Corners Generating Station. The Devers Substation is an essential part of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council, which coordinates the transmission of electricity across the western United States, including Nevada Power Company and Public Service Company of New Mexico.

Location

The Devers Substation is situated in Riverside County, California, near the intersection of Interstate 215 and State Route 74. The substation is located near the city of Perris, California, and is accessible from Los Angeles and San Diego via Interstate 15. The surrounding area is primarily composed of United States Bureau of Land Management land, with nearby Lake Perris and Lake Elsinore providing recreational opportunities, including California State Parks and United States Forest Service lands. The substation is also near the San Bernardino National Forest and the San Jacinto Mountains, which are managed by the United States Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management.
