How do we use electricity?

Electricity is generated in power stations. Here is a solar power station in Seville.  It uses the Sun's thermal energy to produce steam, which is used to power turbines to generate electricity.






Here is a Nuclear Power Station in Guadalajara:





From the power station, the electricity travels along big cables to our homes.  Pylons help keep these cables away from people and things on the ground.





Where the electricity enters our house, there is a fuse box. This makes the electricity safe to use.






From the fuse box, the electricity travels through wires to all the light switches and sockets in our home.
