Peer comment(s):

agree Manfred Mondt : On a smaller scale, like an apartment building, transformer station would do. E p substations usually supply a larger part of the town, transforming from several hundred kVolt to merely 10-20 kVolt. (USA)

agree Steffen Walter : Also w/ Manfred - if this is about a single plot of land or building, it's probably a small "transformer station".
