Electricity transmission
Electricity transmission is the process of transporting electrical power from power plants to homes and businesses through a network of high-voltage lines. Once generated, electricity is stepped up to a higher voltage for efficient long-distance travel, reducing energy loss. It travels across transmission lines supported by towers, often spanning hundreds of miles. Near cities or towns, the voltage is gradually lowered through substations to safer levels for local distribution. This network ensures a reliable and continuous supply of electricity, enabling us to power appliances, lighting, and devices safely and efficiently in our daily lives.
