What is Hydroelectric Power?

Hydroelectric power is a form of renewable energy generated by harnessing the energy of flowing water. It involves converting the kinetic energy of water into electricity through the use of turbines and generators in hydroelectric power plants. Water flow, typically from rivers or dams, turns the turbines, which then drive the generators to produce electricity.

Hydroelectric power is a clean and sustainable energy source that does not produce greenhouse gas emissions during electricity generation, making it an important component of the global renewable energy mix.
