Lanoraie's main power source varies from region to region--in the mountains it is often geothermal, or hydroelectric, while on the eastern hills it may be wind. It's mainly solar powered in the big cities, with power sent from wind farms in the east as well. Currently, power sourced from garbage is being tested with positive (and healthy!) results. Every house has solar panels on the roof but most people also dip into the other resources. Ways to store power generated by solar panels has been around for about 60 years now, and with technology being allowed to advance to make power consumption lower and lower for everyone, soon dam workers and windmill caretakers may be out of business.

It depends on what planet, and what part of the planet, is in question.

On Earth, we use everything from oil to the energy generated by earthquakes. We prefer to use renewables for electricity there so that we can turn that planet's oil into Energon and drink it ourselves.

On Cybertron, we use the souls of unbelievers (that is, those who do not follow Megatronism) and enemy combatants that we have killed in our conquests. They refused to serve us in life, so now, we make them serve us - as esoteric energy generators.

On other planets, we tend to use solar power, though we will use wind, geothermal, and geologic activity if they are present in good amounts.

Nuclear fusion, solar energy, and Hawking radiation. The first two have dominated as power sources for millennia, but "new" technology (Within the last thousand years) has allowed greater ease in manipulating black holes, allowing easier power generation from the smaller and more intensely radiating ones.

Some societies use antimatter when it is created in projects involving energy being transmuted to matter.

Since the development of advanced battery systems, room temperature superconductors, high efficiency mini turbines, and electric jet engines, we use different sources for generating electricity. This includes biomass, solar, tidal, wind, geothermal, nuclear turbines, we are working on gene engineered algae oil, and fusion power.

As of 2020, the People's Republic of Zhouran has an electricity production of 5,872,500 GWh.

By source

  • Nuclear: 45%
  • Coal: 25%
  • Hydro: 18%
  • Wind: 10%
  • Other: 2%

For a nation with a population of 285,480,000 people, Zhouran is one of the world's largest electricity-producing nations with the world's largest number of nuclear power plants, as well as the world's largest producer of commercial nuclear power. Not only that, electricity bills in the nation are one of the lowest in the world, especially for a first-world highly-developed nation, and with an increasing emphasis on dominant nuclear power (including fusion) in order to replace coal, Zhouran sees itself as the world's leading commercial nuclear nation.

Solar energy provided by BNL Corporation's Silas-based Dyson Spheres plays a big part in powering the nation, however Elvectica makes its own energy by clean means, such as nuclear fusion, anti-matter, solar power, and wind.

Elvectica has banned the use of primitive fossil fuels millennia ago.

Most civilian and military technology relies on beamed power from zero-point generators: large octahedral structures designed to tap points in space for the base energy level that can be pulled out at arbitrary rates. The disadvantage at the moment is that there is no reliable way to beam this power to many different recipients between universes, so most of the time generators are set up in universes before any military operations or settlement, while extremely large Platforms and other, frequently autonomous, units are often deemed important enough to receive the few multiversal-power-beam channels that are actually available.

Antimatter is used to a lesser extent on probes and independent units of various kinds, and there remains a fairly large stockpile of antimatter universes despite the heavy reliance on them for power before the development of zero-point energy.

The majority of our generators powering our enclaves run on coal, but hydroelectric power is sometimes used. Diesel and gasoline (both from oil) is used to power all of our vehicles, naturally.

Most of our energy is generated by nuclear fusion, with renewables making up the rest. We're also developing space-based antimatter energy.
