Lightning is an example of an electrical discharge of static electricity. Static electricity is generated by moving air, and charges separate within clouds. As the charges separate, voltage builds. Eventually the voltage due to the massive charge separation overcomes the insulative properties of air and the air becomes ionized. Ionized air conducts electric current, and the bolt forms. It can be either from one cloud to another cloud, or can be between the cloud and ground.
