electricity industry

The electricity industry involves generating, transmitting, and distributing electrical power for everyday use. Power plants (using coal, natural gas, nuclear, wind, or solar) produce electricity, which is then sent through high-voltage transmission lines to substations. Substations step down the voltage for safer, local distribution via lower-voltage power lines to homes and businesses. The industry is regulated to ensure reliable supply, safety, and fair pricing. Advances like renewable energy and smart grids are transforming the sector for sustainability and efficiency. Overall, it’s a complex system crucial for modern life, connecting energy sources to end users seamlessly.
