  2. Hydroelectricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroelectricity

    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] Hydropower can provide large amounts of low-carbon electricity on demand, making it a key element for creating secure and clean electricity supply systems. [ 2 ]

  3. Hydropower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropower

    Hydropower (from Ancient Greek ὑδρο-, "water"), also known as water power, is the use of falling or fast-running water to produce electricity or to power machines. This is achieved by converting the gravitational potential or kinetic energy of a water source to produce power. [1] Hydropower is a method of sustainable energy production.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroelectric_power_in_the...

    Hydroelectricity is, as of 2019, the second-largest renewable source of energy in both generation and nominal capacity (behind wind power) in the United States. [1] In 2021, hydroelectric power produced 31.5% of the total renewable electricity, and 6.3% of the total U.S. electricity. [2]

  5. Low-carbon electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-carbon_electricity

    Globally almost 40% of electricity generation came from low-carbon sources in 2020: about 10% being nuclear power, almost 10% wind and solar, and around 20% hydropower and other renewables. [1] Very little low-carbon power comes from fossil sources, mostly due to the cost of CCS technology.

  6. Pumped-storage hydroelectricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage...

    Pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH), or pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES), is a type of hydroelectric energy storage used by electric power systems for load balancing. A PSH system stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation.
