The concept of an electric monopoly emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly as companies like General Electric and Westinghouse began to dominate the industry. The establishment of regulated electric utilities, often granted exclusive rights to serve specific geographic areas, solidified these monopolies. The Public Utilities Holding Company Act of 1935 in the United States further shaped the regulatory landscape, aiming to curb abuses and promote fair competition in the electric market.
In the game Monopoly, the rules for the Electric Company state that if a player lands on it, they can choose to buy it from the bank. If they own both the Electric Company and the Water Works, the rent is 10 times the amount shown on the dice.
