What is an Electric Distribution Company (EDC)?
This is the “old utility” described above. This is the utility that owns and operates the equipment, infrastructure, and facilities that transmit and distribute electricity to your premise – that is, the poles and wires you see outside your residence, including your meter. The EDC, or utility, is responsible for all things pertaining to the servicing of electricity to your premise, including, but not limited to reading your meter, disconnecting and reconnecting your power, and responding to emergencies in the event of a power outage.
