- This guide outlines key factors for achieving community acceptance and environmental compatibility during the planning, design, construction, and operational phases of electric supply substations. It provides strategies to address these concerns effectively, ensuring that new substations or expansions meet both community and environmental standards. Notably, the guide does not cover on-site generation and telecommunication facilities.
- By focusing on these critical aspects, the guide aims to facilitate smoother project implementation and foster positive relationships with the community. It serves as a comprehensive resource for planners and engineers to navigate the complexities of substation projects, promoting sustainable and community-friendly development.
Active Committees/Task Forces of Interest
- For more information and to get involved, visit the IEEE Substation Committee website and look for WGE1 – Substation Community Acceptance and Environmental Compatibility. You can reach out to the incoming WG Chair, Charlie Li, at , or the previous Chair, Tom Proios, at .
- A new version of the guide, IEEE Std 1127TM-2023, was published earlier in 2024. The next working group meeting will be held from January 12-16 in Garden Grove, CA, during the IEEE 2025 JTCM.
