  1. GENERATION:

    Electricity starts at a generator which can be powered by wind, water, or the burning of fossil fuels.

 

  1. TRANSMISSION:

    The generated power travels through cables called transmission lines. These lines are part of the provincial power grid.

 

  1. DISTRIBUTION:

    The electricity gets converted at a substation to a lower voltage and travels along REA owned distribution lines.

 

  1. CONSUMPTION:

    The electricity passes through a customers transformer mounted on a pole to convert the voltage so it can be safely used in the home.
