Most of our electrical energy comes from hydroelectric power stations and thermal
power stations. These power stations are connected by cables to transmit electricity
to users in industries , offices , schools and houses. This system is called the
national grid network.
(i) State the transformations of energy in a hydroelectric power station.
[ 1 mark]
(ii) Explain briefly the importance of the national grid network system in distributing
electrical energy to the users.
