In 1895 a second powerhouse was built on the same dam, Station B, and Station A was removed. Station B. In 1953 Station B was renamed after the engineer, Thomas Sullivan, who designed it and the nearby paper mills. The Willamette Falls Paper Company was on the northwest bank, whereas the Blue Heron paper mill was across the river in Oregon City ...
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 ...
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]
Out of 31,089 MW of power drop 17,543 MW of power was adjusted by hydro power facility across the country, While Purulia pumped storage adjusted about 700 MW of power drop by ramping down its generation to zero, [10] [11] Hydropower facility across the country played vital role for maintaining grid frequency.

The development rights were granted to Kikot Hydro Power Company (KHPC), a special purpose vehicle company (SPV), owned by Électricité de France and the Government of Cameroon. A long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) is yet to be signed between Eneo Cameroon S.A. and KHPC. [1]
Additional studies conducted by the NEA in 2010–2011 in order to optimize hydropower potential use on the site led to the current proposal. [ 1 ] As of May 2019, the resettlement process was ongoing, with Rs 20 billion already spent in land acquisition in both concerned districts, and another Rs 18 billion set aside to complete compensation ...
Conduit hydroelectricity (or conduit hydropower) is a method of using mechanical energy of water as part of the water delivery system through man-made conduits to generate electricity. Generally, the conduits are existing water pipelines such as in public water supply . [ 1 ]
The International Hydropower Association estimates that the total hydropower potential in India is 660,000 GWh/year, of which 540,000 GWh/year (79%) is still undeveloped. [15] India ranks as the fourth country in the world by undeveloped hydropower potential, after Russia, China and Canada, and fifth by total potential, surpassed also by Brazil ...
