Knowledge fuels change - Support energypedia!
For over 10 years, energypedia has been connecting energy experts around the world — helping them share knowledge, learn from each other, and accelerate the global energy transition.
Today, we ask for your support to keep this platform free and accessible to all.
Even a small contribution makes a big difference! If just 10–20% of our 60,000+ monthly visitors donated the equivalent of a cup of coffee — €5 — Energypedia would be fully funded for a whole year.
Is the knowledge you’ve gained through Energypedia this year worth €5 or more?
Your donation keeps the platform running, helps us create new knowledge products, and contributes directly to achieving SDG 7.
Thank you for your support, your donation, big or small, truly matters!
Distribution Infrastructure
Introduction
Power distribution is the conversion of high voltage electricity at substations to lower voltages. Electricity can then be transported by medium voltage lines to feed medium and low voltage transformers, through overhead lines or underground cables. Most users receive low-voltage feeds, while larger power consumers, such as factories or hospitals, receive medium-voltage feeds.[1] [2]
Distribution infrastructure includes, i.e., poles, overhead or underground lines, service drops, transformers, meters, and switching and protection circuits that deliver safe electrical power.[3][4]
