4. Other electricity services

Over the years, the other services provided by the use of electricity have become increasingly important compared to traditional services: lighting, heating and motive power. Developments in electronics have largely contributed to their development. Today, they represent an investment equivalent to, if not greater than, that for traditional uses of electricity.

These "other services" are commonly referred to as :

• home automation ;

• building automation for the service sector.
