Please note that, as with all potential energy, that a "falling" electron will provide energy, while "raising" them back to their previous level requires the same amount of energy. It's not really a source of energy, just a way to store small amounts of energy.

The source of energy that comes from the movement of electrons is electricity.

It depends on your definition of high energy. Electrons close to the nucleus have a high positive energy and will require a lot of energy to elevate them to higher orbitals. Electrons far away from the nucleus have the potential to give off a lot of energy falling to inner orbitals.
The energy source that pushes electrons around a circuit is typically a battery or a power supply. This energy source provides the necessary voltage difference for electrons to flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal, creating an electric current.
The sun is a renewable source of energy. Water is not a renewable source of energy. It is a renewable resource as long as the rain keeps on falling on the same place.
Yes, that statement is incorrect. Electrons actually flow from the negative terminal of the energy source, through the circuit components, and back to the positive terminal. The energy source provides the potential difference that drives the electron flow.
Hydropower is the energy generated from falling or moving water. This renewable energy source is harnessed by building dams or utilizing the flow of rivers to produce electricity through turbines.
When electrons are raised to a higher energy level, they absorb energy from an external source. This causes the electrons to move further away from the nucleus of the atom. The electrons can then release this absorbed energy in the form of light when they drop back down to their original energy level.
The source of electrical energy in a galvanic cell is the chemical reaction that takes place between the two half-cells. This reaction creates a flow of electrons from the oxidation half-reaction to the reduction half-reaction, generating an electric current. The movement of electrons through an external circuit is what produces the electrical energy.
In general, electrons farther from the nucleus will have more energy than electrons closer in. These "outer" electrons are said to be in higher Fermi energy levels, and they have more kinetic energy than the electrons in lower orbitals. Consider that electrons give up energy to "fall into" closer orbitals, and they will, in general, have less energy than the outer electrons. A consequence of the idea that there is less energy binding outer electrons to that nucleus is that it takes less energy to remove that outer electron from an atom. These are the so called ionization energies of the atom's electrons. And when the electron is in a higher orbital, it has a lower ionization energy. It can be removed more easily. As we attempt to remove more electrons from that atom, it takes progressively more and more energy as we move inward removing electrons.
