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 consumer, electric power may flow through several substations at different voltage levels. A substation may include transformers to change voltage levels between high transmission voltages and lower distribution voltages, or at the interconnection of two different transmission voltages.

Substations may be owned and operated by an electrical utility, or may be owned by a large industrial or commercial customer. Generally substations are unattended, relying on SCADA for remote supervision and control.

The word substation comes from the days before the distribution system became a grid. As central generation stations became larger, smaller generating plants were converted to distribution stations, receiving their energy supply from a larger plant instead of using their own generators. The first substations were connected to only one power station, where the generators were housed, and were subsidiaries of that power station.

This is such a strange request...
Substations are everywhere and easily accessible if you like being electrocuted. Either Rogue has a death wish or is up to no good.
In any case, Mambo has answered quite well.

Did you hear the one about the copper thief, who got done for stealing copper from the substation, and sued because he got electrocuted? The local newspaper reported the case as being absolutely shocking! Shocking, get it , get it? (forgive my pommy humour)
