What are the advantages of hydro electric power plant?



  •   Hydroelectricity is a renewable energy source which can be environmentally neutral.

  •  Conventional hydropower (dams, diversion , pumped storage) regarded as a clean energy sources, may be superseded by emerging hydropower technologies which would have minimal impact on the environment because they won’t  flood or divert the natural water flow.

  • Does not depend on the costs of uranium, oil or other fuels

  • Reduces green house emission

  • High level of reliability, proven technology, high efficiency, very low operating and maintenance costs, and the ability to easily adjust to load changes.

  • Hydropower does not produce waste products that contribute to air quality problems, acid rain,  and greenhouse gases.

  • Hydro plants can be started in seconds - providing needed power in case of a system emergency. 

  • No greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide are produced which makes this source of energy environment-friendly.it prevents us from the danger of global warming.

  • The natural balance in an ecosystem is not disturbed.
