sunlight and photovoltaic panels (solar cells/panels)
also electronic power inverters to change the DC from the panels into AC to send to the power grid.
Power stations produce electricity, and we need them because electricity is essential to our modern way of life
Coal is used all over the US in power stations to generate electricity.
The vast majority run on fossil fuels. There are also nuclear, wind, hydro power stations or plants. In some places there are geothermal power plants.
the turbines run due to the steam produced by sun.
There will be fewer power stations in the future due to the transition to renewable energy sources, like solar and wind, which are decentralized and can be generated closer to where energy is needed. Advances in energy storage technology also reduce the need for large centralized power stations. Additionally, increased energy efficiency measures and a shift towards distributed energy systems further contribute to the decrease in the number of power stations.

There is electricity in much of the urban areas of Zambia. Hydro power is provided from the power stations at Kariba North, Victoria Falls and Kafue. Many rural parts of the country run on diesel power stations and many are now coming onto solar power.
