// POWER & GRID VALUE CHAIN

Power & Grid Value Chain Map

This map merges the power and grid-equipment industries: from fuel and generation assets, to primary and secondary equipment manufacturing, transmission and distribution engineering, and electricity retail and end-user services.

The map is organised by the real "value-chain position" field in the company database. It currently covers … power & grid value chain companies. Nodes with actual records are clickable and pre-filter the company list; nodes showing 0 companies are greyed out and disabled. The "typical stages" notes are explanatory only — the database is not yet classified at that granularity.
