A Note About the Electric Grid
22
Kathmandu, Nepal
Why is MCE’s electricity not
going directly from the
source to my home or
office?
Each building would need
a separate wire to get the
power directly from the
source.
All of the electricity is put
onto the same grid where
electrons are mixed and
flow freely.
