Yes it is true that a power plant that uses fossil fuels transforms chemical energy to thermal energy to mechanical energy to electrical energy

Steam engine is a device that transforms thermal energy into mechanical energy. An internal combustion engine (I.C Engine) can transform thermal energy into mechanical energy. In nuclear power plant also the heat energy released is used to turn the turbine and thus thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy of rotation of turbine. This mechanical energy of turbine is further converted into electrical energy in generator.
Energy in all forms (electrical, mechanical, chemical, thermal) can change from different forms. For example, consider a piece of coal in a power plant. The burning piece of coal is transforms from chemical to thermal energy. If the thermal energy (heat) boils water, it's transform to an another form of chemical energy. Then, if it turns a turbine, it's changed to mechanical energy. Then, finally, the turbine turns a generator and makes electricity (electrical energy).
Assuming that you're talking about a wind-powered electrical generator (such as a "wind farm"), the energy conversion is from mechanical to electrical. When the wind blows on the blades of the mill it rotates them, creating mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is used to power the electrical generator inside the mill, creating electrical energy out of mechanical energy.
