From where is energy got in electromagnetic induction?

I've been reading about electromagnetic induction and while the concept of transfering energy via magnetic field is intuitive, what I'm confused about is, where is the current or energy got from? I know that the electromagnetic force is defined as

$$e = -\frac{d}{dt} \Phi$$

where $e$ is the resulting electromagnetic force and $\Phi$ is the magnetic flux of the magnet.

But from where is the energy got and does it follow the law of conservation of energy ? Or can induction be used to create "infinite" amounts of energy?
