Across
  1. 2. A Canadian government program that provides information on the energy consumption and efficiency of household appliances, heating and cooling equipment, and homes.
  2. 6. Electricity generated by harnessing the energy of flowing water, typically from dams or rivers.
  3. 7. Relating to nuclear reactions that occur at extremely high temperatures, such as those in hydrogen bombs or fusion reactors.
  4. 11. A network of power lines and associated equipment used to transmit and distribute electricity from power plants to consumers.
  5. 12. Natural fuels formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. They are non-renewable and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
  6. 13. Heat energy generated and stored in the Earth, harnessed for electricity generation and direct heating applications.
  7. 14. (kWh) A unit of energy equivalent to one kilowatt (1,000 watts) of power used for one hour. It is commonly used to measure electricity consumption.
  8. 15. A machine that converts kinetic energy from a fluid (such as water, steam, or air) into mechanical energy, often used to generate electricity.
Down
  1. 1. A power plant that generates electricity by converting heat energy, typically from burning fossil fuels, into electrical energy.
  2. 3. Energy sources that are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy.
  3. 4. An international standard for energy-efficient consumer products, established to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants caused by inefficient use of energy.
  4. 5. Devices that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, often used as backup power sources or in power plants.
  5. 8. Organic material derived from living or recently living organisms, used as a renewable energy source. Examples include wood, agricultural crops, and waste.
  6. 9. The ratio of useful output to total input in any system, often expressed as a percentage. In energy terms, it measures how well energy is converted from one form to another without waste.
  7. 10. Energy sources that cannot be replenished in a short period of time, such as fossil fuels and nuclear energy.
