8. The appliances of the electrical energy used items are compact when compared to other forms.
9. Non polluting at the user end although there is considerable pollution at the generation plant except in atomic energy power plants.
10. There is less loss of energy in transmission and distribution
11. Electrical energy can be put to various uses where other forms of energy can not be used.
