"Grid power" refers to the electrical power that is supplied to our homes, businesses, and industries through a network of power lines and distribution systems known as the power grid. It is the electricity we use every day for lighting, heating, cooling, and operating electronic devices that is generated by power plants and sent through this grid for our use.
