No one would deny that electricity has become a major part of our everyday life. But have you ever wonder where it was originated? Let's get to know more about electricity.
 
Electricity was discovered approximately 200 years ago, somewhere around the year 1882, when Thomas Alva Edison invented the first electric generator and light bulb. He later built his first electricity generating facility in New York.
 
Two years afterward, Thailand, led by the military, started adopting Edison's electricity. In the era of Rama the fifth, it was brought to be used within the Royal Palace. Electricity was, at that time, considered as a symbol of prosperity and modernness.
 
Later, electricity was taken into the national economic and social development plan. In the year 1969, the government established the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand, which was given the sole authority to produce electricity and maintain its transmission lines within the nation. The same organization is responsible for the management of electricity up until now.
