Transmission of electricity

NACE v2.1 Code: D35.13

About transmission of electricity

NACE code 35.13, 'Transmission of electricity', represents a critical component of the energy infrastructure. This industry is responsible for the high-voltage transmission of electricity from power generation facilities to distribution networks, ensuring the reliable and efficient delivery of electricity to homes, businesses, and industries across the country. As a fundamental part of the energy supply chain, the transmission of electricity plays a vital role in supporting economic growth and development.

Production process

The transmission of electricity involves the use of high-voltage power lines, substations, and transformers to transport electricity over long distances. Electricity is generated at power plants, where it is then 'stepped up' to very high voltages (typically 110 kV or higher) for efficient transmission. The electricity is then transmitted through a network of power lines and substations, where it is 'stepped down' to lower voltages for distribution to end-users.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the transmission of electricity include power generation facilities, such as 35.11 Electricity generation, as well as a vast network of transmission infrastructure, including power lines, substations, transformers, and other specialized equipment. Additionally, this industry relies on skilled technicians and engineers to operate and maintain the transmission system, as well as a reliable supply of raw materials, such as copper and aluminum, for the construction and repair of transmission components.

Production outputs

The primary output of the transmission of electricity industry is the delivery of high-voltage electricity to 35.12 Electricity distribution networks, which then distribute the electricity to end-users, such as households, businesses, and industries. The transmission of electricity is a critical link in the overall electricity supply chain, enabling the efficient and reliable delivery of power to support a wide range of economic activities.
