Transmission lines are power lines facilitating the bulk transfer of high-voltage electricity from power plants to electrical substations located near concentrations of consumers. ODEC provides high-voltage electricity to ANEC’s substations through ODEC’s transmission system on the Eastern Shore. ANEC converts electricity into lower voltages and delivers it to members’ homes and businesses.
You can recognize these high-voltage transmission lines by the taller steel, concrete or wooden pole structures that are typically on long, straight and uninterrupted routes.
