State electricity? (5)

I believe the answer is:

power

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'state' is the first definition.
(power is a kind of state)

'electricity?' is the second definition.
(electricity is a kind of power)

(Other definitions for power that I've seen before include "product" , "Ability (to do something)" , "Rate of doing work" , "Physical force, ability" , "See 12" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and the Evening Standard.
