A power station is a place where electricity is produced. Power stations can do this in many ways, including:
- Burning coal, oil or gas
- Nuclear power, using radioactive sources
- Hydropower, that is, the power of falling water to drive turbines
- Using the wind to drive turbines
- Using the sun's rays to generate power
- Using geothermal energy, that is the heat at the core of the earth
There are many power stations around the world, because many things need electricity to work.
