Understanding Electricity Generation and Distribution

The video explains how electricity is generated and distributed to homes. It covers various energy sources such as hydroelectric, wind, thermal, nuclear, and solar power. The process involves generating electricity in power plants, transmitting it through high-voltage lines, and distributing it to consumers. Isagén plays a key role in this process by generating and selling electricity to industries and utilities, while also exploring renewable energy sources.
