Every energy conversion process produces heat because of frictional forces. This is why no source of energy can be 100% converted into usable energy. But for your purpose I assume a simple yes would work. Many power plants rely on hydroelectric processes to produce energy. This energy travels to a community where it can be harvested for heat.

Is solar powered by heat or light?
The energy of the sun is converted in light, which is then converted in heat. After that, the heat converts into electrical.
Which sequence of energy transformations occurs after a battery-operated flashlight is turned on?
Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).
