Energy gets from the power plant to customers via the power grid (high voltage power lines).
Transmission lines that generally operate at high voltages are responsible for long distance delivery of electricity. Substations step the voltage down to deliver it locally, and Transformers further step down the voltage to deliver it to the customer.
Note: There are no energy transformations invloved in this process. The power plant (whatever kind it might be) produces electricity (electromagnetic energy), and this is delivered to a user via the power grid. For energy transformation in power plants, refer to those specific questions.

Can you use nuclear energy at home?
It is not practical for you to have your own nuclear power plant at home, however, it is perfectly practical for you to use electricity that has been generated in a nuclear power plant and then transmitted to your home through power lines.
How does the energy of a power plant get to your home?
The energy from a power plant gets to your home by going on transmission lines and going through different substations and transformers so the voltage is reduced low enough so it is safe to go into your homes.
What is the energy transformation in the solar power plant?
solar (photovoltaic) power plant > radiant energy from the sun > converted to electrical energy
How does energy get from a power plant to a house?
fusion power
How does hydroelectric power plant converts to electrial energy?
A hydroelectric power plant makes energy by spinning turbines that turn generators to create energy.water is taken in from lake thrue pipesthe pipes then carry the water to the turbinesThe turbines spin turning a generatorthe generator generates electricity sending it into power linesthe power lines carry the power to the power plantthe power plant sends the power to your home

Why is a power plant an example of nuclear energy?
There are different types of "power plant". Some run on nuclear energy, others don't.
What produces energy for a nuclear power plant?
The energy source for a nuclear power plant is the fissioning of nuclear fuel, which is normally uranium.
