 Resources for Residential Consumers 

A hundred years ago, electricity was a luxury. Today we can't live without it. Electricity runs our homes, offices, and industries, and powers our TVs, computers, air conditioners and appliances, and other electric technologies.

Shareholder-owned electric companies provide 70 percent of the electricity we use in our daily lives. As an industry, we're committed to providing energy consumers with reliable, affordable electricity. We work hard to ensure the lights come on every time you flip the switch. As an energy consumer, you can play a vital role by using electricity wisely.
