The journey of electricity from a power plant to an end user involves a series of critical, well-defined stages. Think of it as a relay race with several handoffs:

1. Generation: This is where electricity is produced at a power plant.

2. Step-Up Transformation: To make long-distance transport efficient and minimize energy loss, the voltage is dramatically increased at a substation near the power plant.

3. High-Voltage Transmission: The electricity, now at extremely high voltage, is carried over vast distances through our Overhead transmission lines (OHTL). This is the "bulk movement" stage.

4. Step-Down Transformation: As electricity nears a city or town, a distribution substation uses transformers to reduce the voltage to a level suitable for local distribution.

5. Distribution: Finally, the electricity travels through a network of lower-voltage lines, including those we support with our underground cable laying Equipment, to reach homes and businesses.

We are proud to provide the essential tools and equipment that make the third and fifth stages of this process possible, ensuring the safe and reliable delivery of power worldwide.
