Power transmission is the movement of energy from its place of generation to a location where it is applied to performing useful work.
With widespread establishment of power grids, power transmission has come to be associated most often with electric power transmission. Alternating current is normally preferred as its voltage may be easily stepped up by a transformer in order to minimize resistive loss in the conductors used to transmit power over great distances; another set of transformers is required to step it back down to safer or more usable voltage levels at destination.

For moving power (usually electrical power but could be gas) from the point of generation (or storage in the case of gas) to the point of consumption. In other words from the power station to the light bulb.
