the difference in water height (potential energy) on either side of the dam causes water to flow down through it.
water flows through turbines inside the dam, causing the turbines to spin.
magnets on the spinning turbines induce an alternating current (AC current).
that current is then transported via transmission lines to your house.
potential energy -> mechanical energy -> electrical energy
