Energy grid

The infrastructure used to transport energy from where it is produced to the final consumers. In the case of electricity, the classic structure includes two grids: the first is the transmission grid, which transports high-voltage electricity from the generation facilities to the primary substations; from here the second, or distribution, grid transports the medium-voltage electricity to the secondary substations and then, at a low voltage, to the final customer.
