Spanish term or phrase: vierten a la red de distribución
¿Cómo se podría traducir la expresión "verter energía a la red de distribución" en este contexto?

Desde la empresa se adoptan diversas medidas en materia de eficiencia y ahorro energético. Por ejemplo, mediante la utilización de plantas de cogeneración de alta eficiencia, que generan al mismo tiempo energía eléctrica ***que vierten a la red de distribución***, y energía térmica que se aprovecha en los procesos industriales, se consigue maximizar el rendimiento por unidad de combustible y reducir las pérdidas de transporte de la electricidad al generar cerca de los puntos de consumo.

¡Gracias!

flows into the distribution network


Explanation:
How electricity flows

Electrical engineers say that, in an electrical circuit, electricity flows one direction: out of the positive terminal of a battery and back into the negative terminal. Electronic technicians say that electricity flows the other direction: out of the negative terminal of a battery and back into the positive terminal.

neutral  AllegroTrans: What is wrong with Althea's answer? Yes, electricity does flow, but this is about the electricity from wind generators being FED into the network which is a perfectly correct description.
