The usual setup is called a generator. The basic idea here is that a piece of wire moves through a magnetic field; this will cause an electrical current. The electrical current causes another magnetic field that opposes the movement, so it requires (mechanical) energy to keep it moving.

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy in an object due to its motion or position. Energy conversions involve changing the form of energy from one type to another, such as transforming mechanical energy into electrical energy. Essentially, mechanical energy is an aspect of energy, while energy conversions involve transformation of energy between different forms.
Some examples of energy conversions include: Chemical energy to thermal energy (burning fuel) Electrical energy to light energy (light bulb) Mechanical energy to electrical energy (generator) Nuclear energy to heat energy (nuclear reactor)
Chemical energy to thermal energy to mechanical energy to electrical energy
List of examples of energy conversions1. Electric Generator (Mechanical Energy into Electrical Energy)2. Electric Motor (Electrical Energy into Mechanical Energy)3. Steam Engine (Thermal Energy into Mechanical Energy)4. Diesel or Petrol Engine (Chemical Energy into Mechanical Energy)5. Stove (Chemical Energy into Thermal Energy)6. Electric Bulb (Electrical Energy into Thermal and Light Energy)7. Cellular Respiration (Chemical Energy into Thermal and Mechanical Energy)
Motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. Generators transfer mechanical energy to electrical energy.
When the switch is closed in an electric circuit, electrical energy from the source is converted into other forms of energy. For example, the electrical energy is converted into light and heat in a light bulb, or into mechanical energy in a motor.
A flashlight converts chemical energy stored in batteries to electrical energy, which is then converted to light energy through a bulb or LED. Heat energy may also be produced as a byproduct of these conversions.

The motor changes electrical energy into mechanical (torque) energy.
Assuming that you're talking about a wind-powered electrical generator (such as a "wind farm"), the energy conversion is from mechanical to electrical. When the wind blows on the blades of the mill it rotates them, creating mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is used to power the electrical generator inside the mill, creating electrical energy out of mechanical energy.
