What voltage level is AC power normally created by the utility?

Utility companies typically generate AC power at a voltage level of around 11 kV to 25 kV. This voltage is then stepped up to higher levels, often between 69 kV to 765 kV, for efficient transmission over long distances. Ultimately, the voltage is stepped down again for distribution to homes and businesses, usually to levels of 120/240V or 208/480V, depending on the application.
