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 ]
Right now, we're only investing about $390 billion a year. How can we get there? We're on course to spend about $6 trillion a year on dirty energy. We need to convert that money to clean energy infrastructure: renewables, energy efficiency, a modern grid. Then we'll need to put another $1 trillion toward clean energy investments—starting ...
Units 1 and 2 have been in operation since 1995, and at that time Chaira was the largest pumped-storage plant in southeast Europe with the highest head in the world for a single-stage pump turbine (690 metres (2,260 ft) generating and 701 metres (2,300 ft) pumping). Units 3 and 4 came online in 1999.
