An industrial sector that produces, transmits and distributes electrical energy. It includes power generation, transmission, transformation, distribution and other links. The production process and consumption process of electrical energy are carried out simultaneously, and they cannot be interrupted or stored, and require unified dispatch and distribution. The power industry provides basic power for industry and other sectors of the national economy. Subsequently, a number of large and medium-sized hydropower stations were built in areas with conditions. It is a leading sector in the development of the national economy. With the acceleration of the modernization process, the power industry has developed rapidly. China's power development has entered a new stage of large power grids, large units, high parameters, ultra-high voltage, automation and informatization. Electricity has become an indispensable means of production and living for economic development and people's lives.
