How Electricity Gets to Buildings

        Electricity gets to buildings through special wires. The wires start in a large building, called a power plant, where electricity is made.


         Other wires, called transmission lines, carry the electricity from power plants to homes, schools, or other buildings


         Other wires bring electricity into buildings, and wires inside walls connect to wall plugs and ceiling lights.
