Utilities are services that include the supply of gas, electricity, water, and sewerage. The term utilities may also be used to describe the companies that supply such services. Low carbon utilities refer to services that have a lower carbon footprint than the traditional services, such as supplies of low carbon electricity generated by renewable energy sources for example. - Description added by: David Lockie + Add your own description
