This article provides a list of the largest hydroelectric power stations by generating capacity. Only plants with capacity larger than 3,000 MW are listed. The Three Gorges Dam in Hubei, China, has the world's largest instantaneous generating capacity (22,500 MW), with Baihetan Dam from
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 ...
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 elevation of Lake Powell fell below 3,525 feet (1,075 meters), a record low that surpasses a critical threshold at which officials have long warned signals their ability to general hydropower ...
The transmission of 240 miles (390 km) was one of the longest in the world at the time. [24] The difficulty of the engineering work on Big Creek was compared to that of the Panama Canal, which was also under construction at the time. [25] As World War I began, construction temporarily ceased on the project, with little activity between 1914 and ...
The largest hydroelectric power station is the Three Gorges Dam in China, rated at 22,500 MW in total installed capacity. After passing on 7 December 2007 the 14,000 MW mark of the Itaipu Dam , the facility was ranked as the largest power-generating facility ever built.
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 ...
