Electric potential is the 'push' of electricity through a circuit. It's easy to confuse electric potential with electric current, so it helps to think of electric current as the water in your shower and electric potential as the water pressure. Like water pressure, varying voltage can increase or decrease the flow of electricity.
If you turn your shower off, your water stops flowing (no more current), but your water pressure doesn't change. Just as you won't suddenly have better, or worse, water pressure when you turn your shower on again, so too does voltage remain constant for each type of energy source. A 1.5 volt battery remains 1.5 volts whether it's in use or not.
