FIRST: Go to this U.S. Energy Information Administration website (https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/electricity/delivery-to-consumers.php) and read about electricity delivery. Feel free to consult other credible information sources (https://www.utep.edu/extendeduniversity/utepconnect/blog/march-2017/4-ways-to-differentiate-a-good-source-from-a-bad-source.html) as well.
