Electricity Grid

An electricity grid is a large network that delivers electrical power from power plants to homes, businesses, and industries. It consists of generation sources (like plants for coal, natural gas, or renewables), high-voltage transmission lines that transport electricity over long distances, and local distribution systems that step down the voltage for safe use. The grid operates continuously to balance supply and demand, ensuring reliable and steady electricity flow. It also includes infrastructure for monitoring, control, and safety to prevent outages and manage any issues that arise.
