You need I can assure you that .... Otherwise, the sentence is fine. You can certainly use available in that context.

Alternately: I can confirm that electricity ...

Pamela81do you mean that it makes sense ?

Yes -- and that the usage is correct, natural, and common.

(Don't forget to capitalize the first word in a sentence.)

I agree with CJ that the object "you" is usually included.

I'm not sure whether or not he considers the sentence incorrect without it.
