energy utilities
Electricity and gas
Energy utilities are companies that generate, transmit, and distribute electricity, natural gas, or other power sources to homes and businesses.
These are typically regulated monopolies or semi-regulated entities that maintain the infrastructure—power plants, pipelines, electrical grids—required to deliver energy reliably: The energy utilities are warning of possible blackouts during the heat wave.
The sector includes both investor-owned corporations and public utilities operated by municipalities or cooperatives.
