electrical transmission

Grid energy delivery

Electrical transmission is the movement of electrical power from generating stations to substations and distribution networks, typically over long distances via high-voltage power lines.

The high voltage minimizes energy loss during transit.

The new transmission lines will carry power from wind farms to urban centers.

Transmission also refers more generally to any conveyance of electrical signals or energy through conductors or space.
