power company
Electricity service provider
A power company is a business that generates and distributes electricity to homes, businesses, and other customers within a geographic area.
These utilities typically operate power plants and maintain the infrastructure of transmission lines and substations needed to deliver electricity.
In many regions, power companies function as regulated monopolies, though deregulation has introduced competition in some markets.
