China''s Hydropower Generation Surges and Coal Ebbs 19 Jun 2024 by reuters An aerial view shows the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River in Yichang, central China''s Hubei province, September 16, 2007. The Three Gorges Project, the world''s largest hydropower plant, is located on the middle reaches of the Yangtze, with a 185-meter-high dam and a five …
As of 2021, the world's largest hydroelectric dam based on generation capacity was the Three Gorges dam built on Yangtze River in China. The dam was equipped with 34 turbo generators and the power plant had a power generation capacity of 22.5 gigawatts. China is by far one of the strongest supporters of hydroelectric energy in the world.
The Three Gorges Dam in Central China is the world's largest power-producing facility of any kind. Hydroelectricity, or hydroelectric power, is electricity generated from hydropower (water power).
Japan and the United States followed second and third respectively, with roughly 21.8 gigawatts and 16.7 gigawatts of capacity respectively.

Pumped Storage Hydropower is the largest form of renewable energy storage, with nearly 200 GW installed capacity providing more than 90% of all long duration energy storage across the world with over 400 projects in operation.
Only plants with capacity larger than 3,000 MW are listed. The Three Gorges Dam in Hubei, China, has the world's largest instantaneous generating capacity (22,500 MW), with Baihetan Dam from the same nation in second place with a capacity of (16,000 MW). The Itaipu Dam in Paraguay / Brazil is the third largest with (14,000 MW).
China has approved the construction of what will be the world's largest hydropower dam, kicking off an ambitious project on the eastern rim of the Tibetan plateau that could affect millions downstream in India and Bangladesh.
