What do you mean by selling electricity?
Selling electricity is the last selling link of electricity from power generation to terminal use, and it is also the fourth step in the process of power transmission.

Electricity sales originated in the19th century. Later, due to the arrival of the electric energy era, electricity sales have developed rapidly, but the electricity sales business in most countries is still owned by the state monopoly or organizations, and power customers monopolize the purchase of electricity from these places. After 1990, the United States, Britain, New Zealand and other countries opened their electricity sales business one after another, giving full play to the role of competition in the electricity market. There are electricity selling companies in the electricity market.
