I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'exciting' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'driven by power' is the second definition.
'electric' can be an answer for 'power' (electric power is a kind of power). I'm not sure about the 'driven by' bit.

'to be' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for electric that I've seen before include "Relic etc charged with current" , "Of a type of energy" , "Type of light, fire, shock, etc" , "Thrilling (potentially shocking?)" , "Energetic" .)
