The utility, which is based in Salt Lake City, supplies electricity to customers in Utah, southeastern Idaho and southwestern Wyoming.

Where the utility supplies a landlord who then makes an onward supply to the final consumer, this requirement is not met.

The utilities can also supply money for capital costs at far lower rates than start-up high-technology companies can obtain.

Substations are the supply points of the system where utility supplied single phase power is transformed and distributed in either direction along the line.

Each station contains two 115 kV (single phase) to 50 kV (single phase with center tap) transformers to convert the utility supplied transmission voltage to 50kV traction voltage.

The car would probably be charged on a circuit controlled by the electric utility, so the utility could supply the power during off-peak periods, at a reduced price.

This relatively low customer density means that while most North American electrical utilities supply an average of 12 customers per circuit kilometre, SaskPower supplies about three.

Competitors were unable to buy wholesale electricity cheaper than the utility could supply it.

The industrial user gets power at a lower rate and has the security of knowing the utility is still supplying backup power for an emergency or maintenance.

CPRI has been taking programs in various areas of electrical power generation, transmission and distribution in the endeavor to assist utilities to supply reliable, uninterrupted and quality services to the consumers.
