British Electricity Supply Industry

The British Electricity Supply Industry (ESI) is responsible for generating, transmitting, and distributing electricity to homes and businesses across the UK. Power plants produce electricity from various sources like fossil fuels, nuclear, wind, and solar. The electricity is then transmitted through high-voltage lines to regional substations, where voltage is lowered for safe delivery. Distribution networks carry the electricity to end-users. The system is regulated to ensure reliable, affordable, and sustainable supply, balancing supply and demand while integrating new technologies and renewable energy sources into the grid.
