How does my electric company know what exactly is using the electricity?

Looking at my electric bill, there’s a section saying “this percent came from [ex: Air conditioner, major appliances (fridge, oven), etc]”. How do they know that?

Explain like I’m five is the sub, what a strange question for this sub but holy hell are there some amazingly in-depth responses!

Let me try.

Some things we use like our lights don’t use much electricity, the TV and hair dryer use more, and things like the air conditioner use a lot. The people that make and send us the electricity can see how much we use because they are the ones giving it to us! Ok bud good question hope that made sense, here’s some apple sauce then you can go play outside!
