ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Electric utility

Electric utility is a company that makes sure that everyone has electricity in their homes to use for things like turning on lights and powering electronic devices.

Think of it like a superhero that makes sure that your house has power all the time!

Electric utilities use big machines and devices to produce electricity, similar to a magic machine that creates power with the help of fuel. This production and distribution of electricity is called electrical grid.

The electricity they produce is made of something called "electrons", which travels through wires in order to reach your house. Kind of like how water flows through pipes to reach your taps!

Electric utilities also make sure to keep the power on all the time, so that you never have to worry about not having light or electricity to charge your phone or game console!
