Transmission of electricity

NACE code 35.12 covers the transmission of electricity, a critical component of modern energy infrastructure. This industry is responsible for the high-voltage transmission of electricity from power generation facilities to distribution networks, enabling the reliable supply of electricity to homes, businesses, and other consumers. As a fundamental part of the energy sector, the transmission of electricity plays a vital role in supporting economic activity and development across a wide range of industries.

The transmission of electricity involves the use of high-voltage power lines, substations, and other specialized equipment to transport electricity over long distances. Electricity is typically generated at power plants and then stepped up to very high voltages for efficient transmission. The electricity is then transmitted through a network of towers, cables, and substations, where it is stepped down to lower voltages for distribution to end-users.

The main inputs required for the transmission of electricity include power generation facilities, such as 35.11 Electricity generation, as well as a range of specialized equipment and infrastructure. This includes high-voltage transmission lines, transformers, circuit breakers, and other electrical components. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled technicians and engineers to operate and maintain the transmission network.

The primary output of the transmission of electricity industry is the delivery of electricity to 35.13 Distribution of electricity networks, which then distribute the electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial consumers. The transmission of electricity is a critical link in the overall electricity supply chain, enabling the efficient and reliable delivery of power to end-users across the economy.
