What is Hydropower?
Hydropower is a form of renewable energy that uses the power of water in motion – such as water flowing over a waterfall – to generate electricity. It's one of the oldest and most commonly used renewable energy sources.
Benefits of Hydropower
- Renewable and clean power source
- Reliable and efficient
- Flexible energy source with the ability to adjust to different demands
How Does It Work?
Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of flowing water into mechanical energy and then a generator converts it into electricity.
