In a hydroelectric power plant, the energy conversion sequence is:

1. Water stored at height has gravitational potential energy. 2. As it falls, the potential energy converts to kinetic energy. 3. The fast-moving water rotates the turbines (mechanical energy). 4. The turbine spins a generator that produces electricity. 5. So the chain is potential -> kinetic -> mechanical -> electrical. _Source: syllabus Science Ch 14 'Sources of Energy' (byjus.com extract)_
