GENERATIONElectricity is produced or generated at a power plant. HYDRO DIESEL WIND THERMAL
Over 80% of energy generated is through clean, renewable hydroelectric generation.
This causes electromagnets inside a generator to spin around copper wire.
POWER
TURBINEEnergy generated spins a turbine.
TERMINAL STATIONAfter power is generated, it travels by wire to a terminal station.
TRANSFORMERS CONVERT POWER TO A HIGHER VOLTAGE
SUBSTATIONBefore power can be used in your home, the voltage is reduced to safe levels first at a substation near your community, then again at a transformer attached to a utility pole near your home.
CIRCUIT BOXWhen electricity reaches your home, your circuit box distributes it to the outlets in your house.
THIS COMPLEX NETWORK LETS YOU POWER YOUR HOME WITH THE FLICK OF A SWITCH
This is needed to move large amounts of power efficiently across long distances.
