Pre-[[Second Great War]], Cohen power production was entirely coal driven with smaller, more local plants producing for localized, unconnected power grids in singular townships and some isolated counties. In the midst of the industrial pull immediately prior to the [[Second Great War]], the main producer of power within Cohe would still be the use of coal, which could be found in major abundance within the country itself. However, power plants along the length of the Alps provided for much of the major population centers while some of the new {{wpl|hydroelectric power plants}} along the twin rivers gave power to nearby areas. A rudimentary national power grid was in development, though such progress would be interrupted. These areas would prove to be significant military targets during the war by strategic bombing, both in order to disrupt domestic production as well as to attempt to flood portions of the country in order to disrupt military efforts and maneuvers.
During the war itself, emergency programs would lead to multiple underground power plants in order to protect such things from strategic bombing. As small as could be to power such things as factories and lighting for search lights, they lacked mass output to maximize concealment, lessen the chance of a bomb strike, and conserve resources and fuel. Often near rivers, many such plants relied on underground streams for power while other operated in the far more usual coal manner. Produced to roughly the same specifications under the Board of Engineers and the Cohen Army Corps of Engineers, injuries would prove to be high due to construction faults,  bombing, and a series of sabotages from insurrectionist movements. Nevertheless, these emergency plants would provide power and enable Cohe to keep active. Following the wars end these emergency plants would cease operation due their scale of power production.
Following that period, most of the power structure for Cohe was rebuilt during the late 1950s, though significant advancements in energy technology would lead to a vast experiment. In 1957, construction for the Pored XB-01 Plant began, the idea of such unlimited energy widespread, and uranium deposits in the alpine regions would be put to work. In 1963, construction of the plant was completed and it produced enough power to provide for not only the testing area but the surrounding power grid itself. After control testing for several years the station would be expanded and designated the Pored Nuclear Plant in 1965 and continues to operate normally even today with modification. The success of the Pored station would lead to the construction of nearly a dozen other similar nuclear plants across the country and today such power contributes to nearly 3/4ths of the total power output of the country.
More recently, renewable power sources have spread across the country, mainly in terms of wind power. Large farms of wind turbines can be found along the length of the Diamode Alps, reliant upon the omnipresent high winds within that area. Such wind plants contribute both to the practical research efforts in perfecting the technology as well as local power grids and ensuring a sustainable, continuous source of power is present in the region. In addition to this, solar technology has made a recent rise in the 2020s in an effort by consumers to lessen the costs of power for their own households, leading to many private houses as well as some affordable housing projects to have roofs lined with solar paneling.
