Electric-power transmission

is the bulk transfer of electrical energy , from generating power plants to electrical substations located near demand centers. This is distinct from the local wiring between high-voltage substations and customers, which is typically referred to as electric power distribution . Transmission lines, when interconnected with each other, become
transmission networks. The combined transmission and distribution network is known
as the " power grid " in the United States , or just
