Miesbach-Munich Power Transmission was the first [1] transmission of electrical energy over a large distance. It took place in 1882 between a steam engine situated near Miesbach and the glass palace of Munich, where world's first international electricity exhibition took place. The voltage used was 2000 V and the distance 57 kilometres. The transmitted power was used to run an artificial waterfall.
