Elektrijaotusvõrk

Elektrijaotusvõrk refers to the electricity distribution network in Estonia. It is a complex system responsible for delivering electricity from high-voltage transmission lines to end-users, such as homes, businesses, and industries. This network consists of substations, power lines, and various electrical equipment that step down the voltage to safe and usable levels. The primary function of an elektrijaotusvõrk is to ensure a reliable and continuous supply of electricity to consumers across the country.

The management and operation of the elektrijaotusvõrk are typically carried out by licensed distribution system operators. These companies are responsible for maintaining the infrastructure, responding to outages, and investing in upgrades to ensure the network's efficiency and security. Estonia's elektrijaotusvõrk is divided into different geographical regions, each managed by a specific operator.

Key components of the network include medium-voltage lines that carry electricity to local areas and low-voltage lines that connect directly to individual properties. Substations play a crucial role in transforming voltage levels at various points within the network. The reliability of the elektrijaotusvõrk is essential for the functioning of modern society, impacting everything from lighting and heating to industrial processes and communication systems. Ongoing efforts are made to modernize and digitize the network to improve its resilience and integrate renewable energy sources more effectively.
