While many of us are off from work this Labor Day, a few of life’s necessities never get the day off, never quit. Electricity is one of them. So, without further ado, here is a quick crash-course in how electricity is made and delivered.
According to HubPages.com: “Basically, electricity is created by magnets spinning inside of a whole bunch of wires.” Power generation companies operate power plants that use coal, nuclear fuel, natural gas, wind, water, solar power or other renewable sources to produce electricity.

After the electricity has been produced, the Transmission and Distribution Power team (TDSP) physically delivers the electricity to your household by high-voltage transmissions.
This is where First Choice Power comes in. We can sell electricity to you — answer your questions, help you choose a plan, then track the electricity you use.
Although the electricity production-and-distribution process is constant, there are some basic ways to give your energy usage a rest. Our Energy Savings Learning Center lists areas of the house, including appliances, and how to reduce energy consumption and save money with each.
