The electric power industry provides the
production and delivery of electric energy, often known as power, or
electricity, in sufficient quantities to areas that need electricity through a
grid connection. The grid distributes electrical energy to customers. Electric
power is generated by central power stations or by distributed generation.
Many households and businesses need access to electricity, especially in
developed nations, the demand being scarcer in developing nations. Demand for
electricity is derived from the requirement for electricity in order to operate
domestic appliances, office equipment, industrial machinery and provide
sufficient energy for both domestic and commercial lighting, heating, cooking
and industrial processes. Because of this aspect of the industry, it is viewed
as a public utility as infrastructure.
