  • The electrical power industry provides the production and delivery of electrical power, often known as power, or electricity, in sufficient quantities to areas that need electricity through a grid. 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. The electrical power industry is commonly split up into four processes. These are electricity generation such as a power station, electric power transmission, electricity distribution and electricity retailing. In many countries, electric power companies own the whole infrastructure from generating stations to transmission and distribution infrastructure. For this reason, electric power is viewed as a natural monopoly. The industry is generally heavily regulated, often with price controls and is frequently government-owned and operated. The nature and state of market reform of the electricity market often determines whether electric companies are able to be involved in just some of these processes without having to own the entire infrastructure, or citizens choose which components of infrastructure to patronise. In countries where electricity provision is deregulated, end-users of electricity may opt for more costly green electricity.

  • Эле́ктроэнерге́тика — отрасль энергетики, включающая в себя производство, передачу и сбыт электроэнергии. Электроэнергетика является наиболее важной отраслью энергетики, что объясняется такими преимуществами электроэнергии перед энергией других видов, как относительная лёгкость передачи на большие расстояния, распределения между потребителями, а также преобразования в другие виды энергии (механическую, тепловую, химическую, световую и др.). Отличительной чертой электрической энергии является практическая одновременность её генерирования и потребления, т. к. электрический ток распространяется по сетям со скоростью, близкой к скорости света. ГОСТ 19431-84 дает следующее определение электроэнергетики: Электроэнергетика - раздел энергетики, обеспечивающий электрификацию страны на основе рационального расширения производства и использования электрической энергии.
