If the usurpation includes both water and electricity, then neither nor wudu is valid according to the Hanbalis. However, if the usurpation is limited to electricity only, then the water is permissible, and there is a difference of opinion among jurists regarding the ruling on water obtained through usurpation: is its use disliked or permissible? There are two narrations concerning this among the Hanbalis.
What most scholars and -givers hold is the validity of ghusl and wudu with usurped water, even if it entails sin.
