What are the major stages involved in the journey of electricity from a power plant to a consumer?
2025-08-11Answer: The process of delivering electricity can be broken down into three main stages: Generation, Transmission, and Distribution. Our company specializes in providing the tools and equipment necessary for the critical transmission and distribution phases.
-
Generation: This is where electricity is produced at a power plant using various sources, such as coal, natural gas, nuclear energy, wind, or hydropower. The electricity is generated at a relatively low voltage.
-
Transmission: To transport electricity efficiently over long distances, the voltage is "stepped up" significantly at a substation near the power plant. This high-voltage electricity then travels along high-capacity transmission lines, which are often visible as large towers or poles. Our company provides a wide array of equipment for both overhead transmission line (OHTL) stringing and underground cable laying, ensuring reliable power transfer.
-
Distribution: As the electricity approaches populated areas, it passes through various substations where the voltage is gradually "stepped down" to a level suitable for homes and businesses. From these substations, it is carried by smaller distribution lines (the wires you see on local streets) to final end-users. We offer a comprehensive one-stop supply of tools for this entire process, including overhead tools and accessories, and underground cable laying equipment.
