Definition of «hydropower»

Hydropower is a form of renewable energy that involves harnessing the power of moving water to generate electricity. It typically involves building dams or other structures across rivers and using the force of the falling water to turn turbines, which then convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy through generators. Hydropower is a clean and sustainable source of energy that can provide reliable power generation while also having minimal environmental impact compared to fossil fuel-based sources of energy.
