Hydroelectric Power: The Oldest Renewable Energy Source

Hydroelectric power has been harnessed for centuries and remains a leading renewable energy source. Dams and reservoirs generate electricity by channeling water through turbines. This process is both efficient and reliable, with hydropower providing steady baseload electricity. Countries with abundant rivers, such as Norway and Canada, rely heavily on this energy form. However, building dams can disrupt ecosystems and displace communities. To address these concerns, smaller-scale hydro projects and improved designs are being implemented. Hydropower’s ability to store energy also makes it valuable for balancing intermittent sources like wind and solar.
