distribution system operators
Distribution System Operators (DSOs) are organizations responsible for managing and operating the electricity distribution networks. They ensure that electricity is delivered safely and reliably from the transmission system to homes and businesses. DSOs maintain the infrastructure, including power lines and substations, and monitor the flow of electricity to meet demand.
In addition to managing the physical network, DSOs play a crucial role in integrating renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, into the grid. They also facilitate communication between energy suppliers, consumers, and regulatory bodies to ensure efficient energy distribution and support the transition to a more sustainable energy system.
