Assuming that you are referring to electrical energy produced by power plants,where the source is water, the difference of potential represented by the difference of level, which falls down from the dam, a huge amount of water force the rotation of big turbines that generates alternating current.

Why is electric energy can not be stored?
Electrical energy is a form of energy derived from the flow of neutrons, the negatively charged particles in atoms. When loosely used to describe energy absorbed or delivered by an electrical circuit, "electrical energy" refers to energy which has been converted from electrical potential energy. This energy is supplied by the combination of electric current and electrical potential that is delivered by the circuit. At the point that this electrical potential energy has been converted to another type of energy, it ceases to be electrical potential energy. Thus, all electrical energy is potential energy before it is delivered to the end-use. Once converted from potential energy, electrical energy can always be described as another type of energy (heat, light, motion, etc.).
Is nuclear energy thermal energy or potential?
Until converted, it is potential energy. However, to make nuclear energy domestically useful it is converted into thermal (thermodynamic) energy (heat), which, in turn, is converted into electrical energy, both of which are kinetic energy.
Are various energy forms interconvertible?
Yes, various forms of energy are interconvertible. Look at the following examples. Sound energy is converted into electrical energy in a microphone. Electrical energy is converted into sound energy in a loud speaker. Electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy in a motor. Mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy in a generator. Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy when a stone is dropped. Electrical energy is converted into heat energy in a room heater. Chemical energy is converted into sound, light and heat energy while firing crackers
What absorption of wave energy?
when there is a wave,there is gravitational potential energy,which is converted to kinetic energy,when the water hits the turbine,it creates electrical energy.
What type of potential energy is stored in a car battery?
atopno......it is chemical energy which is being converted into electrical energy....
Can potential energy be converted into electrical energy?
yesby using Quartz
How is hydropower converted into electrical energy?
Via potential and kinetic energy

Is nuclear energy potential energy or kinectic energy?
Until converted, it is potential energy. However, to make nuclear energy domestically useful it is converted into thermal (thermodynamic) energy (heat), which, in turn, is converted into electrical energy, both of which are kinetic energy.
What are the energy transformations in a power plant?
The potential energy in the head of water is converted into kinetic energy in the turbine which converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy. Potential Energy of water -> Kinetic Energy -> Electrical Energy

What is the main energy conversion in a battery when it is charged?
Electrical Enegy is converted to Chemical Potential Energy
What are the energy transformations in hydro power plants?
The potential energy in the head of water is converted into kinetic energy in the turbine which converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy. Potential Energy of water -> Kinetic Energy -> Electrical Energy
Why is electrical energy considered a form of kinetic energy?
I believe electrical energy is considered potential energy and not kinetic. Kinetic energy is when an object is moving, electrical energy is a stored energy that can be converted to kinetic energy.
What absorption of wave energy?
when there is a wave,there is gravitational potential energy,which is converted to kinetic energy,when the water hits the turbine,it creates electrical energy.
How waterfalls create energy?
The rapids produce kinetic energy, which will then be converted to electrical energy. Change in river altitude (head) is potential energy
