It is hard to say exactly what the importance was since this is subject to opinion, but he did start the "war" on transmission with Tesla.
Edison did show that it was feasible to transmit , but his form of electricity was DC - direct current, which suffers from significant power loss over the lines. Tesla's AC - alternating current eventually won out, and that is what we use around the world today.
