Hydroelectric plants are facilities that generate electricity from flowing water.
Dams typically create reservoirs, and released water spins turbines connected to generators.
The plants produce renewable energy without burning fuel: The hydroelectric plant powered the entire valley.
Also called hydroelectric power stations or simply hydro plants.
