It's the same here, though we have varying degrees of transmission and distribution voltages via transformers and regulators. In my area, power comes into our valley from the 500kv lines through the open desert, into the valley at 33kv, and stepped down to 5kv for neighborhood distribution that the single phase 240/120v transformers tap off for the EOL.

More of what I was getting at was that generation is more or less the same across regions. Some external fuel source (whether it's diesel, natural gas, nuclear, steam, etc) does its thing to drive a rotor that's connected into an alternator which is essentially an electric motor but instead of the electric motor doing the driving, it's being driven which generates power, and the RPMs of whatever given fueled drive mechanism are not necessarily 1:1 with the alternator speed.
