“The Ultimate Computer,” did that on March 8, 1968

Wait maybe that was the 23rd century...

Falling Skies, a Spielberg series, had the alien power generator on the moon supplying the power to the alien war machine.

POWER: Persistent Optical Wire
As envisioned, POWER’s final demonstration will employ relays integrated onto existing platforms to validate long-distance transmission from a ground-sourced laser through multiple airborne nodes and back down to a ground receiver. I don't see it coming onto the civilian market any time soon.

Good proof of concept though. Passive energy generation like orbital solar arrays beaming this down to earth might be doable one day.
