What would it take for a plant to produce electric shocks?

I'm designing an alien plant soecies that has evolved to produce electric shocks, as a way to keep insects away from it. My question is, how would it produce electricity in the first place? Also, could such an energy source be extracted? Note: I've read about the way electric eels produce electricity, I'm just wondering if the same method can be used by a plant. If not, in what ways could it produce electricity?
