Electricity is a secondary energy that we use in our day to day and that, today's society, is maintained thanks to it. First of all, do you know the difference between a primary energy and secondary energies? The big difference is that the primary energies are found in nature, while the secondary energies are the result of a transformation for direct consumption. Some examples of primary energies are power alone, hydraulic power, biomass, oil, natural gas or coal. In the examples of secondary energies we have gasoline, diesel or electricity.

Electricity supply is one of the basic needs of the current era. It is true that a few centuries ago, electricity was unknown and was not used for the benefit of human beings, but after its discovery, our evolution and progress has been motivated by this energy. This means that in the past we did not have this tool and that is why it was not necessary.

Now most of our day-to-day utensils would not be able to function without electricity, traffic lights would go out so there would be serious accidents in cities, hospitals would stop working properly, millions and millions of data would be lost on computers that were turned off... Without a doubt, we depend on electricity and the items that use it to function.

The companies in charge of generating and distributing electricity are basic in our community and have a vital function for human beings. This means that its consumption does not usually vary in large quantities when a country is in a period of recession. This advantage helps to make investments in this sector quite safe, although this also implies that they do not usually receive large positive surprises.
