The power lines carry alternating electrical current and voltage. This produces an electrical and magnetic field around the wire. Some of the electrical energy thus escapes in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The wires do not carry the radiation. They radiate it because of the electrical power flowing in them.

What kind of energy is produced by electrical power plant?

Energy leaves power plants in the form of AC electricity.

How does energy in an electrical outlet get to you?

Electricity generated at a power plant travels through transmission lines to substations, where it is stepped down to a lower voltage for distribution. From there, the electricity flows through power lines to electrical outlets in your home or building, providing the energy you need to power your devices and appliances.
