Transmission and Distribution (T&D)

Transmission and Distribution (T&D) are two key stages in delivering electricity to homes and businesses. Transmission involves high-voltage power lines that carry electricity over long distances efficiently from power plants to substations. Distribution then takes over, lowering the voltage and using local lines to deliver electricity directly to consumers. Think of transmission as the long-distance pipeline moving energy, and distribution as the local network that finally connects it to your outlets. Both are essential for safely and reliably providing the electricity we rely on daily.
