'electricity store' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'rain blows on youth leader' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'on' could be 'at' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'at' is found in the answer.
'youth' could be 'y' and 'y' is present in the answer.
'leader' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' acts as a link.
