The Three Gorges Dam in Hubei, China, has the world's largest instantaneous generating capacity at 22,500 MW of power. In second place is the Baihetan Dam, also in China, with a capacity of 16,000 MW.
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]

The following page lists hydroelectric power stations that generate power using the run-of-the-river method. This list includes most power stations that are larger than 100 MW in maximum net capacity, which are currently operational or under construction.
The Hoover Dam, when completed in 1936, was both the world's largest electric-power generating station and the world's largest concrete structure. Hoover Dam power station. 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]
Renewable electricity generation by source and country in 2023 [1]. This is a list of countries and dependencies by electricity generation from renewable sources. [1]Renewables accounted for 30% of electric generation in 2023.
This article lists the largest power stations in the world, the ten overall and the five of each type, in terms of installed electrical capacity. Non-renewable power stations are those that run on coal , fuel oils , nuclear fuel , natural gas , oil shale and peat , while renewable power stations run on fuel sources such as biomass , geothermal ...
All 7 dams are the largest power-generating bodies respectively, before the Jebel Ali Power Plant at 8,695 MW, the largest non-renewable energy-generating facility in the world. The currently planned Grand Inga Dam would be nearly twice the size of the Three Gorges Dam at 39,000 MW , surpassing all power-generating facilities once it passes the ...
