Electric Power Sector

The electric power sector is the industry responsible for generating, transmitting, and distributing electricity to homes, businesses, and industries. It involves power plants that produce electricity from sources like coal, natural gas, nuclear, and renewables such as wind and solar. The electricity flows through a network of high-voltage transmission lines to substations, which step down the voltage for local distribution via lower-voltage lines. This system ensures that safe, reliable electricity reaches end-users for everyday use. The sector is critical for powering modern life, supporting economies, and enabling technological development.
