Yes. Power plants do produce electricity. Some fuel sources undergo combustion in a power plant to produce heat. This heat is used to turn the water into steam. This steam is put under high pressure and used to rotate a turbine. The rotation of turbines in presence of a magnetic field produces electricity.
