Mainly coal, but there is also a lot of hydro-electric power generated.

Wind and solar power generation are starting to make small inroads into traditional methods of power generation and there is one, possibly soon to be two nuclear power plants.

One of its main industries is mining, and this includes gold and precious gems, metals and minerals, and fossil fuels.In addition, it has a rich agricultural heritage, so much income is generated from primary industries such as sheep and cattle, and wheat and other crops.
