Sizes Of Hydroelectric Power Plants:
Hydropower facilities range in size from large power plants, which supply many consumers with electricity, to small and even ‘micro’ plants, which are operated by individuals for their own energy needs or to sell power to utilities.
Large Hydropower:
  • Although definitions vary, DOE defines large hydropower plants as facilities that have a capacity of more than 30 megawatts (MW).
Small Hydropower:
  • Although definitions vary, DOE defines small hydropower plants as projects that generate between 100 kilowatts and 10 MW.
Micro Hydropower:
  • A micro hydropower plant has a capacity of up to 100 kilowatts. 
  • A small or micro hydroelectric power system can produce enough electricity for a single home, farm, ranch, or village.
