Long distance energy loss reduce...?

1st Official Post

    So basically I have a geothermal power plant that has 12 geothermal generators, hooked up to a pump in the nether. The sustain is great and I have way more energy than I need. Problem is the distance, I basically can't use more than half of my machines without them running out of juice rather quickly. My question would be, is it possible to put a batbox somewhere inbetween the machines on the cables, so that it resets the loss? I am not too sure on how energy loss works, I read a lot, still I don't get it.

    Your best option is to do the same as you do in real life:

    produce the power at a powerplant, uptransform it to a higher voltage (higher voltage, lower amperage), transport it at that high voltage and at the end where you're using it again, you downtransform it again (lower voltage, higher amperage).

    Alternatively you could also place a batbox/cesu/whatever every x blocks, where x needs to be small enough, that the energy loss is less than 1 EU.
