Transmission
The high-voltage network that moves electricity long distances across a region.
Definition
Transmission is the system of high-voltage lines and substations that carries power from generation sources to local distribution networks.
Detailed explanation
Transmission charges recover the cost of this regional backbone. Like capacity, they are often tied to your demand during specific system peak intervals, so peak management can influence them.
Why it matters
Transmission is a distinct cost component that can be influenced by when you use power, not just how much — an often-overlooked opportunity for large accounts.
