Long-Distance Power Transmission

Long-distance power transmission involves transferring electricity generated at power plants over vast geographic areas to reach homes and businesses. Because electrical energy weakens over distance, high-voltage transmission lines are used to reduce energy loss during transit. Transforming voltage levels with substations allows for efficient, safe transfer over hundreds or even thousands of miles. Once near the destination, the voltage is lowered for safe distribution. This process ensures reliable, large-scale delivery of electricity from generation sites to end users, supporting modern infrastructure and daily life.
