Generation

This is the process of creating electricity from other forms of energy at a power plant or facility. Generation is fueled by coal, nuclear, wind, natural gas, biomass, solar, and hydro power.

Transmission

This network of lines acts as the energy superhighway interconnecting generating facilities to the local distribution system near a populated area.

Distribution

The final stage in the delivery of electricity to consumers is distribution. Distribution lines are what you see on your street and the wires that bring electricity into your home and businesses.
