Elektrivõrgude

Elektrivõrgud refers to electrical grids or power networks. These are interconnected systems used to transmit and distribute electricity from generation sources to consumers. In Estonia, Elektrivõrgud is a significant term related to the operation and management of the country's electricity infrastructure. The primary entity responsible for the transmission network in Estonia is Elering AS, which operates the high-voltage electricity grid. This network facilitates the transport of electricity over long distances. For the distribution of electricity to end-users, there are various regional distribution network operators. These operators manage the lower-voltage networks that connect homes, businesses, and industries to the main transmission system. The concept of elektrivõrgud encompasses not only the physical infrastructure of wires, substations, and transformers but also the complex systems that ensure the reliable and stable flow of electricity, including control centers and sophisticated monitoring technologies. Maintaining and developing these networks is crucial for energy security and the functioning of the modern economy. They are continuously being modernized to accommodate new energy sources, such as renewables, and to improve efficiency and resilience.
