The power grids in the U.S. — there are actually three of them — are enormously complex, but they're traditionally based on a simple idea: Electricity moves in one direction, from a power plant to homes along high voltage transmission lines and lower voltage power lines that distribute electricity to individual homes and neiElectricity moves in one direction, from a power plant to homes along high voltage transmission lines and lower voltage power lines that distribute electricity to individual homes and neielectricity to individual homes and neighborhoods.

Once the transmission lines reach the area they're serving, the voltage is reduced at another transformer and the electricity follows smaller distribution lines to homes and businesses.

SB 1059 authorizes the Commission to designate suitable transmission corridors for high - voltage electric transmission lines to ensure reliable and efficient electricity delivery.

The process of distributing electricity — Distribution usually refers to the series of power poles, wires, and transformers that run between a high - voltage transmission substation and a customer's point of connection.

To minimize power loss, after the electricity leaves the power plant, it is «stepped up» at substations to high voltage and then moved long - distance across transmission lines to get where it is needed.
