1461112 - Nuclear electricity
Electricity generated at an electric power plant whose turbines are driven by steam generated in a reactor by heat from the fission of nuclear fuel.
1461113 - Hydro-electricity
Electric power generated from a plant in which turbine generators are driven by flowing water.
1461114 - Tidal electricity
Electric power generated from a plant in which turbine generators are driven from tidal movements.
