The construction of the dam started in 1975 and was completed in 1982. It is one of the largest dams in the Philippines. It is a multi-purpose dam which is used primarily for irrigating about 85,000 hectares (210,000 acres) of agricultural lands, [1] flood control, and power generation through the Magat Hydroelectric Power Plant.

Pumped storage plants, like other hydroelectric plants, can respond to load changes within seconds. The most important use for pumped storage has traditionally been to balance baseload powerplants, but they may also be used to abate the fluctuating output of intermittent energy sources. Pumped storage provides a load at times of high ...
The following page lists all pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations that are larger than 1,000 MW in installed generating capacity, which are currently operational or under construction. Those power stations that are smaller than 1,000 MW , and those that are decommissioned or only at a planning/proposal stage may be found in regional ...
In 2022, West Virginia had a total summer capacity of 15,021 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 56,665 GWh. [2] In 2023, the electrical energy generation mix was 85.6% coal, 6.9% natural gas, 4% wind, 3.1% hydroelectric, and 0.3% petroleum. [1]
Pallivasal Hydroelectric Project is the first hydroelectric project in Kerala, India. The project consists of 2 reservoirs, 2 dams, a diversion dam and a power house and is owned by the Kerala State Electricity Board. The power house of the project has been constructed at Chithirapuram in Pallivasal Gram Panchayat, Munnar, Idukki District.
The Manuel Piar Hydroelectric Power Plant (Tocoma Dam) is a stalled hydroelectric development project in the Lower Caroní River Basin of Venezuela. The project, started in 2006, includes the installation of 2,320 megawatts (3,110,000 hp) MW to generate annual average energy of 12,100 gigawatt-hours (44,000 TJ). As of 2019, the project is ...
There are also small and somewhat-mobile forms of a run-of-the-river power plants. One example is the so-called electricity buoy, a small floating hydroelectric power plant. Like most buoys, it is anchored to the ground, in this case in a river. The energy within the moving water propels a power generator and thereby creates electricity.
