Not sure if this has been implemented in some mod somewhere or if this idea has been posted already, but I think it would be a good idea to make electrified fences to keep mobs out and damage them too.
Basically you would place iron bars in the same way that you would with a wooden fence, and when you are satisfied you would hook it up to some redstone which would "run a current" through it making it electrified.Maybe you could place it above a wall and do the same to make it more realistic.

Seems a little OP in my honest opinion... Redstone isn't a source of electricity... it's kind of... magic? (sort of?)
However, in saying that... just make a wall of lava with blocks behind it. It will function exactly them same without new content needing to be added...
But yeah, in its current state you don't have my support... But flesh it out a little, and try and find a unique reason to have an electric fence, this certainly has some potential...

Yeah, lava is good but if you're a little bit nooby you might build it next to a wooden house... It wouldn't end well. I'll try and work something out anyway thanks

Here's a small suggestion review from me about your suggestion:
Complication/Detail:
Nice short and easy suggestion. The recipe is quite clear, for me that is, but maybe you could offer some concept art about it. Also, I would like to know how much damage it will take, and what other mobs suffer from it (as 'mob' can either mean monster, animal AND player)
Balance:
Since I don't know how much damage the fence can do, neither we know the radius, I can't really be sure about it, but sounds quite powerfull for a very simple thing.
Gamefitting?:
Not in my opinion, no. Fact is, redstone is technically 'not' electricity, yet a whole new power on its own. Redstone energy doesn't hurt when touching, so how can an electric fence do this? Also, minecraft is settled in a timespan where electricity is beyond knowledge (vanilla minecraft, that is), so jumping to electric fences might be a bit over the top.
Original?:
Quite original as I haven't seen much threads about this, though.
Final Opinion:
No support. It doesn't really suit in the style/timespan of the game, neither we know anything of the power.

You want to be a dragon? Well, then you need to have wings, a passion to hoard, and have a deadly breath.
Oh, and did I forgot to tell you dragons are extremely territorial? ROAWR >:)
