It is hard to say when electricity was 'First' used. It has been known about by scientists and philosophers for a long time, but it's use was restricted to experimentation only, mostly created by batteries, or static generators.

The first public supply of electricity started in January 1882, in London England.

It used an Edison generator, powered by a steam engine using a Babcock & Wilcox boiler.

Edison, later the same year, (September) set up another power supply in New York.

These early electrical supplies were DC, as opposed to the AC system we have today.
