Distribution of electricity

NACE code 35.14 covers the distribution of electricity, a critical component of modern infrastructure and economic activity. This industry is responsible for the transmission and distribution of electricity from generation facilities to end-users, including households, businesses, and other sectors. The distribution of electricity is a fundamental service that enables the functioning of various industries and supports the overall economic development of a region or country.

The distribution of electricity involves a complex network of transmission lines, substations, and distribution systems. Electricity is typically generated at power plants and then transmitted through high-voltage transmission lines to local distribution networks. These distribution networks use lower-voltage lines to deliver electricity to individual consumers. The process also involves the use of transformers to step down the voltage to appropriate levels for residential, commercial, and industrial use.

The main inputs required for the distribution of electricity include the electricity generated by power plants, which can come from a variety of sources such as 35.11 Electricity generation, 06.10 Extraction of crude petroleum, 05.10 Mining of hard coal, or 35.21 Manufacture of gas. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment such as transformers, switchgear, and control systems, as well as a skilled workforce to operate and maintain the distribution infrastructure.

The primary output of the distribution of electricity industry is the delivery of electricity to end-users, including households, commercial establishments, and industrial facilities. The electricity distributed through this industry is an essential input for a wide range of economic activities, such as 10.00 Manufacture of food products, 20.00 Manufacture of chemicals and chemical products, and 41.00 Construction of buildings.
