electricity can be used from any power station to meet demand in any part of the country.
power stations can be built away from large cities and near the natural resources that they need to use.
any extra electricity in the system can be used to pump water up hill to be used later to generate electricity in a hydroelectric power station.
if a power station needs to be turned off for any reason the consumers (houses and businesses) can continue to receive electricity from other power stations. electricity can be used from any power station to meet demand in any part of the country.
