power supply
'Stromversorgung' and 'Energieversorgung' both describe people, buildings, or devices being supplied with energy. However, 'Stromversorgung' refers only to electrical energy. 'Energieversorgung' is broader and can also include gas, heat, or other forms of energy. The words can be confused because electricity is an important part of the energy supply. If you are talking specifically about electricity, sockets, or devices, 'Stromversorgung' is more precise. If you are talking about the whole system of electricity, gas, and heat, 'Energieversorgung' fits better.
