# Energy and Electricity

The Energy and Electricity category adds various machines which generate, consume or transfer energy (measured in Joules or J).

Besides a way to generate electricity for your machines, an energy network requires an [[Energy Regulator]]; without it power transfer cannot happen.

You may also want to use [[Energy Capacitors]], as they can store excess energy and extend the range of your network.

The [[Energy Connectors | Energy Connector]] can also extend your network, but it does not store power.

Some machines have a buffer, meaning they can store a certain amount of energy. Unlike [[energy_capacitors | capacitors]], however, if the energy isn't used before it reaches maximum capacity, it will be reset entirely.

Electric machines are best used with a [[cargo_management | Cargo Management System]] for automatic item transportation.
