Electricity won't run out because electricity is generated with electrical generators.

However the fuels that are use to generate most of the electricity will eventually run out.

Electric power plants operate on natural gas, fuel oil and coal although some electricity is generated using water through hydroelectric power plants.

For the power plants that operate using natural gas, fuel oil and coal those power plants will eventually run out of fuel to operate.

However for power plants that use hydroelectric as the source or water then as long as the water is flowing the electricity will still be generated.

Also we now have wind generators as well as Solar power so as long as we have the sun and wind we'll still have electricity.

We won't ever run out of electricity since electricity is made using electric generators through magnetism and also through solar panels and batteries.

As long as we have sun to charge batteries and the inverters and solar panels and also as long as we have fuel to operate the electric generators we will always have electricity.

Some electric plants generate electricity using water to spin the generators such as the Hoover Dam.

So in that case as long as the water is flowing then electricity will also flow through the wires and into the homes and businesses connected to them.
