Understanding Electrical Power Grids | Electric Power
The term "grid" refers to the conductors and equipment interconnecting power sources to power loads in a wide-spread electrical system. Generating stations (i.e. "power plants") convert various forms of energy such as fossil fuel, solar, wind, elevated water, and nuclear into electrical power; which is then sent through step-up transformers to raise the voltage and reduce current
Dominica: Energy Country Profile
But the electricity mix – the balance of sources of electricity in the supply – is becoming increasingly important as countries try to shift away from fossil fuels towards low-carbon sources of electricity (nuclear or renewables including hydropower, solar and wind). These interactive charts show the electricity mix of the country.

How the Electricity Grid Works
The evolution of the electricity grid. The electricity grid has grown and changed immensely since its origins in the early 1880s, when energy systems were small and localized. During this time, two different types of electricity systems were being developed: the DC, or direct current, system, and the AC, or alternating current, system
