Rangit Dam (Hindi: रन्गीत् बाँध Bāndh), which forms the headworks of the Rangit Hydroelectric Power Project Stage III, is a run-of-the-river hydroelectric power project on the Ranjit River, a major tributary of the Teesta River in the South Sikkim district of the Northeastern Indian state of Sikkim.
The Miel I Hydroelectric Power Plant receives water from the dam via a 6.5-metre (21 ft) diameter tunnel which splits into three 3.35 metres (11.0 ft) diameter penstocks before reaching each turbine. The power house is located underground and contains a machine, transformer and surge tank chambers.
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 ...
Phase I of the power station was officially opened in September 2000. [1] In January 2014, in a ceremony attended by the president of Malawi at that time, Joyce Banda, the second phase of the Kapichira hydropower project was switched on, doubling the hitherto 64 megawatts to the maximum capacity of 128 megawatts.

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, where the energy is integrated into the national grid. [1]
All 7 dams are the largest power-generating bodies respectively, before the Jebel Ali Power Plant at 8,695 MW, the largest non-renewable energy-generating facility in the world. The currently planned Grand Inga Dam would be nearly twice the size of the Three Gorges Dam at 39,000 MW , surpassing all power-generating facilities once it passes the ...
The Jaruga Hydroelectric Power Plant is the first commercial hydro power plant in Europe, and the second oldest in the world.It started with operation on 28 August 1895 at 20:00, two days after the Adams Power Plant on the Niagara Falls, [19] [20] [21] and in 1903 it was moved to its current location.
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 ]
