It operates the electric and other utility transmission and distribution systems of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) on behalf of the district which specifically covers Walt Disney World outside Orlando, Florida. Some power is produced by the district-owned power plant north of the Magic Kingdom with the remainder purchased from the public power grid.
