Hydroelectricity, or hydroelectric power, is electricity generated from hydropower (water power). Hydropower supplies 15% of the world's electricity , almost 4,210 TWh in 2023, [ 1 ] which is more than all other renewable sources combined and also more than nuclear power . [ 2 ]
In 2021, hydroelectric power produced 31.5% of the total renewable electricity, and 6.3% of the total U.S. electricity. [2] According to the International Hydropower Association, the United States is the 3rd largest producer of hydroelectric power in the world in 2021 after Brazil and China. [3] Total installed capacity for 2020 was 102.8 GW.

The Pare Hydro Electric Project is a NTPC NEEPCO situated in the Dikrong River which is a tributary of Brahmaputra River in the Papum Pare District of Arunachal Pradesh.Total installed capacity of project is 110 MW [1] [2]
This article provides a list of the largest hydroelectric power stations by generating capacity. Only plants with capacity larger than 3,000 MW are listed. The Three Gorges Dam in Hubei, China, has the world's largest instantaneous generating capacity at 22,500 MW of power.
The energy from moving masses of water – a popular form of hydroelectric power generation. Tidal power generation comprises three main forms, namely tidal stream power, tidal barrage power, and dynamic tidal power.
Low-head hydro power refers to the development of hydroelectric power where the head is typically less than 20 metres, although precise definitions vary. [1] Head is the vertical height measured between the hydro intake water level and the water level at the point of discharge.
The economically justified hydropower potential of Armenia is around 3.600 GWh/year. [citation needed] From this amount, 1.500 GWh/year (or about 42% of economically justified hydropower potential) has been developed already. [6] [obsolete source] Six of the plants are in the enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh. [7]
