agree  Magno: I would use power. The word energy is okay in a physics text or scientific.

  -> Thanks
agree  Robert INGLEDEW: Yes, we talk about power generation, transmission and distribution (it is in my CV, shame on you, Robert!)
12 mins
  -> Thank you, Robert
disagree  Raúl Waldman: "Power = potencia" es la "velocidad" con la que se transfiere energía. "Energy = energía" es potencia multiplicada por tiempo; lo que nos cobra la compañía eléctrica. Ambas pueden ser activas, reactivas y aparentes. Aquí el texto habla de energía.
