Force and energy are connected in that force is the action that can transfer energy from one object to another. Force is what causes an object to move or change its motion, and this movement or change in motion involves the transfer or transformation of energy.
The energy stored in the way atoms are connected to each other is called chemical potential energy. It is the energy stored within the bonds of chemical compounds.
The force used to create hydroelectricity is the kinetic energy of moving water, typically from a dam or flowing river. This energy is harnessed and converted into electricity through the use of turbines connected to generators.
It's really the other way round - force affects potential energy. Potential energy is the RESULT (not the cause) of a force being required to move something - for instance, against the force of gravity or an electric field.
Wind turns a windmill by exerting force on its blades, causing them to rotate. The rotation of the blades is connected to a central hub, which then turns a shaft connected to a generator, producing electrical energy.
Force is the interaction that causes an object to accelerate, while energy is the capacity to do work. When a force acts on an object and causes it to move, work is done and energy is transferred. In this way, force can change the energy of an object by doing work on it.

Work is energy, and work done by a force equals force times distance moved IN THE DIRECTION OF THE FORCE

Mechanical energy is equal to force x distance. Actually, work is defined this way, but you can think of work as a transfer of mechanical energy.

Water flowing through a turbine which is connected to an electric generator converts the water power to electrical energy. Electrical energy generated this way is known as hydroelecticity to differentiate it from electrical energy generated by other means, such as wind power, solar power, fossil fuels or nuclear fuels.
Hydropower is the energy produced by running water. It is generated by harnessing the gravitational force of flowing or falling water to turn turbines connected to generators, producing electricity.
Muscular energy is used to bend your finger. When you contract the muscles in your hand and fingers, they generate force to pull on the tendons connected to the bones, causing the finger to bend.
