GOELRO plan

The Goelro Plan was a big idea to help bring electricity to more people in Russia. It was named after a group of important people who came up with the plan.

The plan was like having a big puzzle, and they wanted to put all the pieces in the right places so that everyone could have electricity. Electricity is like magic power that helps us do things like turn on lights, use computers, and watch TV.

The Goelro Plan said that they needed to build special things called power plants to make electricity. These power plants need big machines called generators to make the electricity.

The plan also said that they needed special cords called power lines to carry the electricity from the power plant to people's homes and buildings.

The people in charge of the plan looked at maps and decided where the power plants and power lines should go. They wanted to make sure that everyone could get the electricity they needed.

Once the power plants and power lines were all set up, more and more people were able to use electricity to do things they could never do before. The Goelro Plan was a really important part of bringing electricity to many people in Russia.
