What problems faced power stations to transmit electricity to the cities?

One major problem was how to transfer electricity over long distances, without loosing the current. The current may dissipate over a long circuit, so what you get at the city is only a fraction of what you generated at the plant. This problem was overcome by using large Transformers. They convert high current/low voltage to a low current but very high voltage. The electricity is then carried across land with minimal losses and once nearer its destination will be converted back to a higher current/lower voltage through the use of further transformers.
