	Reduce Your electric rate by as much as 20-30% per year
		When negotiating commercial electricity with a Retail Electric Provider such as TXU Electric through a power broker a commercial business must see a substantial savings difference then if they were to negotiate the same contract on their own.
		Retail Electric Providers like TXU Electric or Reliant Energy many times choose electricity brokers because they offer them the potential to win new business as long as they are able to bid competitively and beat out the other Retail Providers bidding on the same account.
		When commercial electricity is negotiated through electricity brokers Texas companies stay one step ahead of the game.

	Electricity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Electricity is a general term for the variety of phenomena resulting from the presence and flow of electric charge.
		Electric charge is a property of certain subatomic particles (e.g., electrons and protons) which interacts with electromagnetic fields and causes attractive and repulsive forces between them.
		Electric power is the rate at which electrical energy is produced or consumed, and is measured in watts (symbol is: W).

	Canada Science and Technology Museum
		When a battery or other electrical source is attached to a wire, which is connected to some form of resistance, (a light, a bell, a motor, etc.), and a circuit is completed back to the source or to ground, free electrons are released into the wire, creating an electrical potential or voltage.
		In his electromagnetic induction theory he stated that an electric current flows in a conductor if that conductor is in a moving magnetic field and is part of a circuit.
		If the electric current surges to a dangerous level, the metal in the fuse melts and the circuit is broken, preventing overheated wires in the walls of the house from starting a fire.

		Electricity will only flow when a power source, such as a battery or a generator, sets the electrons in motion and when the electrons can complete a full circle.
		Electricity becomes dangerous to you when you become part of the electrical loop--when the electrons have enough energy and make adequate contact to pass through your body.
		Electrical energy always seeks the shortest route around the circuit back to the source, which in the above example is the battery.

		Electricity can be used as a transportation fuel to power battery electric and fuel cell vehicles.
		EV batteries have a limited storage capacity and their electricity must be replenished by plugging the vehicle into an electrical source.
		Fuel cell vehicles use electricity produced from an electrochemical reaction that takes place when hydrogen and oxygen are combined in the fuel cell "stack." The production of electricity using fuel cells takes place without combustion or pollution and leaves only two byproducts, heat and water.

		The SI unit of electric charge is the coulomb (symbol C).
		So-called static electricity, seen in such phenomena as the charging of nylon shirts when they are pulled on or off, or in brushing hair, is in fact the gain or loss of electrons from the surface atoms.
		A flow of charge (such as electrons through a copper wire) constitutes an electric current;; the flow of current is measured in amperes (symbol A).

		Electricity is one of the most important forms of energy used today.
		Electricity or an electrical current is a flow of electric charge along a wire.
		The first kind is called the direct current (dc) which comes from batteries and the second type is called the alternating current (ac) which comes out of plugs in the wall and is produced in power stations.

		Direct current or DC electricity is the continuous movement of electrons from an area of negative (-) charges to an area of positive (+) charges through a conducting material such as a metal wire.
		Whereas static electricity sparks consist of the sudden movement of electrons from a negative to positive surface, DC electricity is the continuous movement of the electrons through a wire.
