In-game description
Electrical Substation is a named spot in the south-west of Dam Battlegrounds, a low, rock-walled hollow packed with disused power generators. The in-game map tags it with the Electrical loot category, so that is the kind of haul to expect when you head there.
In an ordinary round the substation has spots for Medical Bags, Worn Backpacks, Raider Caches and ARC Couriers, two of each, plus a single Crashed ARC Probe. Most of these are possible spots, and any given round fills only some of them. Three Field Crates sit here as well. An ARC Turbine and an ARC Surveyor each have a spawn point in the area, though not every spawn point is used every round, and small flying and ground machines can also turn up, with which machine appears varying from round to round. Water Towers is about 150 m away if you want to move on.
The closest way out is Good Old Baron's Hatch, a Raider Hatch about 170 m away in a straight line, with the Water Treatment Elevator about 190 m off. Cold Snap rounds bring 12 container spots of their own here, while Electromagnetic Storm, Uncovered Caches and Hurricane rounds have a few each.

Return points near Electrical Substation
| Return point | Type | Distance | In-game description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good Old Baron's Hatch | Raider Hatch | about 170 m | This tunnel runs past an underground cistern filled to the brim with red, iron-rich sludge. |
| Water Treatment Elevator | Elevator | about 190 m | You'd think this elevator would win the "worst smell" category by a landslide, but the competition is surprisingly strong. |
| Central Swamp Lift | Elevator | about 400 m | The decomposing organic material from the swamp seeps into these tunnels and create pockets of dangerous gases. |
