Se denomina energía eléctrica a la forma de energía que resulta de la existencia de una diferencia de potencial entre dos puntos, lo que permite establecer una corriente eléctrica entre ambos cuando se los pone en contacto por medio de un conductor eléctrico. La energía eléctrica puede transformarse en muchas otras formas de energía, tales como la energía lumínica o luz, la energía mecánica y la energía térmica.

Electrical energy is the energy newly derived from electric potential energy or kinetic energy. When loosely used to describe energy absorbed or delivered by an electrical circuit (for example, one provided by an electric power utility) "electrical energy" talks about energy which has been converted from electric potential energy. This energy is supplied by the combination of electric current and electric potential that is delivered by the circuit. At the point that this electric potential energy has been converted to another type of energy, it ceases to be electric potential energy. Thus, all electrical energy is potential energy before it is delivered to the end-use. Once converted from potential energy, electrical energy can always be called another type of energy (heat, light, motion, etc.).
