How is it produced?
In order for you to flip a switch or press an “on” button, electricity is working hard behind the scenes. Let’s explore the journey electricity takes from the power plant to you.
Electricity begins with one of the three main types of fuel: fossil fuel (like coal, oil and natural gas), nuclear power and renewable alternatives (like wind, solar and hydropower). This fuel creates steam or fluid that moves a turbine, which turns a magnet in a generator. This movement causes those electrons to move, which produces electricity!
It doesn’t stop there, though – this electric current still has a long way to travel to get to you. Once the generator produces electric current, it’s transported through thick wires to transformers, which amplify the voltage. This high-voltage electricity is carried to the power grid. One at the power grid, electricity is moved to different substations, which reduce the voltage for use in large settings like factories.
For electricity to actually make it to you, it’s distributed to local transformers through power lines, which are either buried or mounted. These local transformers further reduce voltage so you’re receiving electricity safely. When it finally arrives in your home and you flip that switch or press that “on” button, you’ve completed the circuit and electricity will flow.
