Energy is lost as heat. A typical nuclear power plant produces about twice as much energy as waste heat as it does in electricity. Other power plants are not much better, except for such things as more modern gas plants, which can used combined cycle to recover some of the lost heat (nuclear could too) and even do cogeneration use more waste heat to heat buildings (which nuclear plants probably cannot).
solar (photovoltaic) power plant > radiant energy from the sun > converted to electrical energy
fusion power
which energy transformation occurs first in a coal burning power plant
There are different types of "power plant". Some run on nuclear energy, others don't.
The energy source for a nuclear power plant is the fissioning of nuclear fuel, which is normally uranium.
Some heat is lost in the vapour that rises from the power plant.

A nuclear power plant produces electrical (electromagnetic) energy, or what most call electricity or electric power.
