Transmission and distribution systems
Transmission and distribution systems are key parts of delivering electricity from power plants to homes and businesses. Transmission involves high-voltage lines that carry large amounts of electricity over long distances efficiently. Once the electricity reaches a regional area, the distribution system steps down the voltage through transformers and uses lower-voltage lines to deliver power directly to customers. This two-step process ensures electricity is transmitted safely, reliably, and efficiently from where it's generated to where it's used. Together, these systems form the backbone of our electrical infrastructure, supporting everyday electrical needs across communities.
