electricity generation
The process of converting other forms of energy, such as from coal, wind, sun, or nuclear power, into electrical energy.
Die Stromerzeugung aus erneuerbaren Energien hat in den letzten Jahren stark zugenommen.
Electricity generation from renewable energies has increased sharply in recent years.
This word is a compound of 'Strom' (electricity) and 'Erzeugung' (generation/production). So it describes exactly the process by which electricity is produced.
Die Sicherheit bei der Stromerzeugung hat oberste Priorität.
Safety in electricity generation has top priority.
The word 'Erzeugung' (generation/production) is the nominalization of the verb 'erzeugen' (to produce, to manufacture). Many German nouns ending in '-ung' are derived from verbs in this way and describe an action or its result.
Ein Kraftwerk erzeugt Strom.
A power plant generates electricity.
Very often, the energy source is named with the preposition 'aus' (from), for example 'Stromerzeugung aus Windkraft' (electricity generation from wind power) or 'aus Kohle' (from coal). Adjectives that often occur are 'erneuerbare' (renewable), 'nachhaltige' (sustainable), or 'konventionelle' (conventional) Stromerzeugung.
Deutschland will den Anteil der Stromerzeugung aus erneuerbaren Energien weiter erhöhen.
Germany wants to further increase the share of electricity generation from renewable energies.
power supply
'Stromversorgung' and 'Stromerzeugung' both have to do with electric power, but they refer to different steps. 'Stromerzeugung' describes electricity being produced, for example in a power plant or by wind and sun. 'Stromversorgung' means that electricity reaches devices, buildings, or an area and can be used there. The words can be confused because both are often mentioned together in everyday life. In practical terms: first electricity is generated, then the power supply has to work.
Die Stromerzeugung aus Windkraft ist in dieser Region stark gewachsen.
Electricity generation from wind power has grown strongly in this region.
Nach dem Sturm war die Stromversorgung in mehreren Straßen unterbrochen.
After the storm, the power supply was interrupted on several streets.
