Substations will step up voltage from Generation units to higher voltages for power transmission for long distances. Transmission is defined by high voltage (from 33kV upwards, at which EEC has 66kV, 132kV and 400kV transmission voltages). Step Up Substations: 3.3kV to 66kV, 11kV to 66kV, e.g., Maguga Substation steps up from 11/66kV.
