The primary reason that power is transmitted at high voltages is to increase efficiency. ... The lower current that accompanies high voltage transmission reduces resistance in the conductors as electricity flows along the cables. This means that thin, light-weight wires can be used in long-distance transmission.

Electricity is transmitted to different places through electrical cables and wires.
And due to the modern electrical appliances,we need high voltage electricity, that's why electricity is transmitted in a high voltage.
Similarly,it is transmitted in a low current,to avoid the resistance effect of the electricity conductor and to maintain the efficiency in a long range transmission.
