Distribution of electricity

NACE v2.0 Code: D35.13

About distribution of electricity

NACE code 35.13 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 consumers. The distribution of electricity is a fundamental service that enables the functioning of a wide range of industries and supports the overall productivity and growth of the economy.

Production process

The distribution of electricity involves the use of high-voltage transmission lines, substations, and local distribution networks to transport electricity from power plants to consumers. Electricity is typically generated at power plants using various energy sources, such as fossil fuels, nuclear power, or renewable sources like solar, wind, or hydroelectric. The generated electricity is then stepped up to high voltages for efficient long-distance transmission and subsequently stepped down to lower voltages for distribution to end-users.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the distribution of electricity include the electricity generated by power plants, as well as the infrastructure and equipment necessary for the transmission and distribution network. This includes high-voltage transmission lines, substations, transformers, and the local distribution network of lower-voltage lines and transformers. Additionally, the industry requires skilled personnel to operate and maintain the distribution system, as well as various materials and supplies for repair and maintenance.

Production outputs

The primary output of the electricity distribution industry is the delivery of electricity to end-users, including households, commercial and industrial businesses, and other consumers. The electricity distributed by this industry is a critical input for a wide range of other economic activities, such as 35.11 Manufacturing of electricity, 42.22 Construction of utility projects for electricity and telecommunications, and 43.21 Electrical installation.
