Quite simply, it ISN'T POSSIBLE to create energy. Nor is it possible to destroy it, for that matter. The Universe has "conservation of energy"; this means precisely that you can't increase or reduce the total amount of energy in the Universe.

What generating plants to is convert from some other form of energy (for example, gravitational potential energy, in the water stored in a dam), into electrical energy.
