generate

/ˈdʒɛn.əɹ.eɪt/verb

To cause something to exist or happen; to produce.

Example sentences

“The new ad campaign generated a lot of interest in the product.”
“Wind turbines generate electricity for thousands of homes.”

The standard verb for electricity, income, interest, and buzz. It fits abstract outputs; for physical goods, 'produce' or 'manufacture' is more natural.
