Not directly - but all it takes is for one wizard to charm one wheel
to continue spinning at a specific speed 'no matter what' - in other
words, a perpetual motion machine. This wheel can be attached to any
number of electric generators.

Or, in order to make things work within current infrastructure -
transfigure water into oil.

(even if it can't be done infinitely as suggested above, it would be a
way to convert the still obviously abundant "magic energy" into
something muggles can use)
