There are five different types of components in any electric grid (also known as an electric network) in Slimefun:
- The Energy Regulator is the centerpiece of the network. You need exactly one of these to form an electric network.
- Energy Connectors extend the reach of your electric network.
- Capacitors store electricity.
- Generators (such as Solar Generator, Coal Generator) generate electricity.
- Consumers (such as Electric Furnace, Electric Dust Washer) use electricity to do something.
Energy Regulators, Energy Connectors, and Capacitors can all extend the reach of the network by 7 blocks in every cardinal direction:

That's all there is to it!
