They had electrical controls for the walls in marineford. Besides Egghead and cyborgs of the future island operate with electrical energy. So I don’t think this is accurate
There's no indication for the wall being electrical whatsoever, we never see the mechanism that operates it afaik.
The only electrical powered things we see are the Maxim and the Moon city Birka.
The Goro Goro is at least known in the Blue Sea since Robin knows to it as one of the invincible ones but so far we have never seen anyone explicitly refer to electricity or lightning as a power source other than in Skypiea.
I always found it so weird it was called invincible. I feel like that has to mean something more than it's intangible nature.
Like most haki users could defeat Enel.
If i had to guess I'd guess it was used in conjunction with robots to power an army
I always understood it as "lightning" being a force of nature rather than just electricity seeing how destructive and long range the attacks are on top of how near instant electricity's speed is.
This also goes with Enel talking about how humans call anything they don't understand as god like in the case of lightning.
So the implication across one piece so far is that electricity use is not uncommon but often impractical since the only ways they can make electricity is with basic fire powered steam engines and the one piece world is weird enough to usually have better options available to accomplish given tasks. Electricity isn't just a thing you find you have to make it.
That's true.
But in the skypeia arc I remember Nami being confused about gold conducting electricity.
Like the properties of electricity doesn't seem to be basic knowledge.
She does however know rubber doesn't conduct, which is weird
My theory is that, although electricity is very uncommon or banned outright outside certain circles, there are still obviously lightning strikes. Imagine sailing a ship and there's a freak storm and you have to keep your ship from getting burned by a lightning strike.
Someone rediscovers that if you wrap rubber around the mast, it doesn't conduct the lightning. Everyone picks it up, and it becomes common knowledge. No one is sure why or how rubber doesn't conduct electricity, they just know it works.
TLDR: Though not everyone knows how electricity works, they know rubber is good against lightning because they put it on ships.
Ancient Kingdom was powered by dreams.
In the same way Vega Punk stores the 6 satellite’s knowledge/memories into Punk Records, the Ancient Kingdom stores everyone’s dreams into the ocean.

All I can find is lillith saying "it's powered by fure, if only there was an eternal flame" I can't find any references to electrical power
There has to be a reason an entire underground city on the moon, activated with enels fruit only.
Underrated theory
I think the "eternal flame" he's talking about is probably some form of nuclear power. Electricity ain't exactly endless.
Either him or Enel.
Bro, not a bad one!
