Wind? Tidal generation?
Geothermal is usually a good idea, but still require (electric) pumps.
Then there is the issue of how you generate that electricity and the efficiency of the process. A little hint: a "1st world grid" has an efficiency of ~33-35% from the power source to the plug. This usually move the overall feasibility quite a lot.
