Description

Overview:
The grid delivers electricity from generation points to demand centers. Supply and demand of electricity must be balanced in real-time to ensure system stability and reliability. The electric grid is a natural monopoly because it is most efficient for one operator to provide the service. To ensure consumers are not overcharged, grid operators are overseen by a regulator.
