I live 2.5 from my power plant. Not seeing where the loss of those connections affect me.

“I live 2.5 from my power plant. Not seeing where the loss of those connections affect me.”

Do you get your power directly from the plant, or do you hook up to the grid like everyone else?

Because the voltage coming from the plant is very high as in the neighborhood of 500K volts which must be stepped down usually at a Hub {Distribution Center} then from there onto a substation at about 180K volts to be stepped down to around 7000 volts to your service transformer and the 225/250 volts into your home.

It is the transformers at the switching stations and the substations they are talking about not the transformer out on the power pole. Many factories still make the residential/commercial pole/slab transformers. I used to drive for a trucking company that hauled transformers for McGraw Edison manufacturing plants.
