What is electricity transmission and how does it differ from distribution?

2025-08-09

Electricity transmission is the bulk transfer of electrical energy from power plants to distant substations. It's like the motorway system of the electrical grid, carrying large amounts of power at extremely high voltages over long distances.

Distribution, on the other hand, is the delivery of that power from local substations to homes, businesses, and factories. Think of it as the local road network that brings the power to the end consumer.

Our company, Ningbo Changshi, provides a full range of equipment and tools for both of these critical stages, including OHTL wire cable conductor tension stringing equipment for long-distance transmission and underground cable laying equipment for local distribution networks.
