Hydroelectric power is a clean and sustainable energy source that has been used for over a century. It is generated by harnessing the power of moving water to turn turbines, which in turn generate electricity. Hydroelectric power plants are typically located near rivers, dams, or other bodies of water that have a significant drop in elevation.
Hydroelectric power is a clean energy source because it does not produce any greenhouse gases or other pollutants. It is also a renewable energy source because it relies on the natural water cycle to generate electricity.
Economic Impact
Hydroelectric power is an important source of energy worldwide. According to the International Energy Agency, hydropower accounts for over one-third of the total installed renewable capacity worldwide 1. In 2020, hydropower supplied 17% of global electricity generation, making it the single largest source of low-carbon power – and more than all other renewables combined.
