Lightning is notoriously irregular and random. Works fine for a quick, violent blast, but it's not anything you'd use for a steady current.
The Force powers noted are all expressed as short and quick actions, nothing that goes on for long periods of time. A Jedi could telekenetically turn a crank, that would run a motor that would generate an alternating current, but I think it would probably be simpler for the Jedi to walk over and turn the crank by hand.
