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 ]
Arpachay-1 (20.5 MW) and Arpachay-2 (1.4 MW) hydro-electric power stations launched in Sharur region in 2014. Ismayilli-2 (1.6-MW) hydroelectric plant launched in 2015 Azerbaijan and Iran signed agreement for "Khudaferin" and "Giz Galasi" hydro-junctions and hydroelectric power plants on Araz River in Feb 2016
Hydropower (from Ancient Greek ὑδρο-, "water"), also known as water power or water energy, 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 ...
The energy mix is dominated by traditional sources like firewood and agricultural residue (68.7%), most of this primary energy (about 80%) represents solid biofuels used in the residential sector (for heating, cooking etc.). [2] Smaller shares of energy come from commercial sources like petroleum and coal (28.2%) and renewable sources. [3]
The design flow is 26 m 3 /s, gross head is 50 m and annual energy generation capacity is 61.01 GWh. [ 1 ] [ 4 ] The plant was constructed by United Modi Hydropower Pvt. Ltd., an IPP of Nepal.

The underground powerhouse has three Francis turbines, each rated at 84.7 megawatts, relaying the power to an above-ground switchyard. [5] From the power station, two high-voltage transmission lines (one at 400kV and another at 230kV), transfer the energy a total of 295 kilometres (183 mi) to a substation owned by the Ethiopian Electric Power ...
Achwa 1 is a run-of-the-river hydroelectricity project with planned annual output of 274 GWh. This power station is one in a cascade of five power stations planned on the Achwa River totaling 109 megawatts (146,000 hp).
