Metcalf Substation Attack Highlights Grid Vulnerability
The 2013 Metcalf substation shooting near San Jose damaged 17 transformers and raised alarms about the US power grid. Former FERC chair Jon Wellinghoff called it a potential test run for a larger attack and warned that coordinated strikes could cripple large regions west of the Rockies. Senators urged stronger security while FBI said motives remain unclear. Experts say little has been done to bolster grid defenses despite a 2007 National Research Council warning.
