electricity production
Making usable current
Electricity production is the generation of electrical power from energy sources.
Power plants convert energy—from burning fossil fuels, splitting atoms, falling water, or capturing wind and sunlight—into electricity for distribution through power grids.
The country shifted its electricity production toward renewable sources.
