Electric Power Industry

The electric power industry involves the generation, transmission, distribution, and sale of electricity. It starts with power plants using sources like fossil fuels, nuclear, or renewables (like wind and solar) to produce electricity. This electricity is then transmitted over high-voltage lines to substations, which lower the voltage for safe distribution through local lines to homes and businesses. Utilities manage this process and maintain the infrastructure. The industry also focuses on reliability, efficiency, and sustainability to meet the public's energy needs while addressing environmental concerns.
