Pacific Electric lines emanating from Downtown Los Angeles, 1917. The following passenger rail lines were operated by the Pacific Electric Railway and its successors from the time of its merger in 1911 until the last line was abandoned in 1961. One count indicated that the company and its successors operated as many as 143 different routes in ...

Map of major Western North American power transmission paths A line on Path 65, part of the Pacific DC Intertie. The Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) coordinates a number of high voltage power links in western North America. [1] [2] [3] These links, known as WECC Intertie Paths, are not necessarily single transmission line ...
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 required transmission line owners to allow electric generation companies open access to their network [3] [4] and led to a restructuring of how the electric industry operated in an effort to create competition in power generation. No longer were electric utilities built as vertical monopolies, where generation ...
Some 41 TWh of net imports and 204 TWh of line losses resulted in total consumption of 4,067 TWh. [1] Texas produced the most with 526 TWh, twice as much as Florida or Pennsylvania. In 2022, natural gas was the largest source of electricity in the US and for 25 states. Wind power was the largest renewable source for 20 states. [2]

Interconnections can be tied to each other via high-voltage direct current power transmission lines such as the north-south Pacific DC Intertie, or with variable-frequency transformers (VFTs), which permit a controlled flow of energy while also functionally isolating the independent AC frequencies of each side.
In 1894, the Pasadena & Los Angeles Electric Railway purchased, re-gauged, electrified, and double-tracked a section of the line for streetcar use. [4] Service began on May 6, 1895. [5] Pacific Electric acquired the route in 1898. The line was again rebuilt to standard gauge with service between Pasadena and Los Angeles beginning in December 1902.
