Electric Transmission

Electric transmission refers to the high-voltage transfer of electricity from power plants to substations near populated areas. This process uses large transmission lines to efficiently move electricity over long distances with minimal loss. Once near cities or towns, the voltage is lowered at substations for safe distribution to homes and businesses. Transmission is a critical part of the power grid, ensuring that electricity generated elsewhere can reliably reach consumers. It involves complex infrastructure, including towers, wires, and transformers, all coordinated to provide a steady and efficient flow of electrical energy across vast regions.
