disagree  Jennifer Levey: I see no need to put 'réseaux' in the plural here. At any specific point in the electric power network, there is never more than 'one' main.
9 hrs
disagree  JGHU (X) (meets criteria): The "mains" is always plural in the context of powerline, grid power and should be understood as being singular (hence "réseau" or "secteur" in French). See e.g. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mains
