I guess we are all guilty of wasting electrical energy, and we pay for it, but not so much as to make us worry about it.
The process of generating electrical energy from fossil fuels using heat-engines (diesel engines, steam-turbines etc.) is also very wasteful, and the most efficient power plants (gas) waste about half of the available energy, while coal plants waste about three-quarters. But while the glut of fuel lasts it's so cheap that no-one bothers too much about it.

How is electricity wasted in royal parties?
What a strange question! It depends on what you mean by 'royal parties' and what you mean by 'wasted electricity'! For example, are referring to official state functions, entertaining foreign dignitaries? As all states are expected to provide this sort of 'party', then the electricity is not being wasted, as it's being used for essential work. WebRep currentVote noRating noWeight

When can electricity be transformed into heat energy?
Electricity turns into heat when it passes through a resistance. The amount of wasted power can be calculated as I2R. Whenever electricity is used by some machine, most of it will eventually turn into heat, too.
