Yes. Some common measurements are Volts which measure electro-motive force, or EMF. This is the 'strength' of the electricity. Another measurement is Amperes, which is a measure of current flow, which is the amount of electricity flowing, just like current in a river. Power is the ability of electricity to do work, and is obtained by multiplying EMF times current. Power can be rated in watts, kilowatts, joules, and so forth.
By the way, Volts and Amperes are capitalized because they are named after real people. Same with deciBel, which is 1/10 of a Bel, which was named after Alexander Bell, the inventor of the telephone.
