Electricity and Electrical Energy Matters


Electricity is not a non-renewable natural energy resource that is mined or pumped from the ground. It is a manufactured product. Electric power is manufactured in electric generators, and then transmitted by copper wire long or short distances to where that electric power is utililzed. In today's high-technology world, the utilization of electrical power is everywhere around us.

The Electricity Forum is dedicated to the exchange of policy and technical information in common to electric utilities and large industrial, commercial and institutional power consumers. Browse our site and learn all about the companies that generate electric power and the different electrical equipment technologies that help to make modern life possible.
