Many reasons exist. The voltage is lower, so current is greater and Joule heating
much more important than for long-distance transmission. Wires must be strung
everywhere a customer is instead of along a single right of way, and this involves substantial
expenditure. Substations with expensive transformers and capacitors must be used; these
costs are assigned to local transmission.
