Generating Electricity

This document explains how electricity is generated, focusing on various sources of energy. It lists key methods including fossil fuel burning, coal power stations, and renewable sources like tidal and solar energy. The process typically involves burning fuels like coal, oil, and gas to create heat energy, which boils water to produce steam. The steam drives turbines that turn generators, ultimately producing electricity. This electricity travels through the national grid to power our homes and industries.
