Hydroelectricity is the second most important renewable energy source after solar energy in Japan with an installed capacity of 50.0 gigawatt (GW) as of 2019. [1] According to the International Hydropower Association Japan was the world''s sixth largest producer of hydroelectricity in 2020. Most of Japanese hydroelectric power plants are pumped
The power station was a pure pumped-storage facility, using the Pacific Ocean as its lower reservoir, with an effective drop of 136 m and maximum flow of 26 m 3 /s. Its pipelines and pump turbine were installed underground. Its maximum output was approximately 2.1% of the maximum power demand in the Okinawa Island recorded on August 3, 2009.
A 72MW hydropower station is included in phase 1A of the Lesotho Highlands water project to allow Lesotho to become self-sufficient in energy production.

The Wivenhoe Power Station is situated between the Splityard Creek Dam and Lake Wivenhoe. The Splityard Creek Dam is situated in hills adjacent to Lake Wivenhoe and is about 100 metres (330 ft) above it. The power station is the only pumped storage hydroelectric plant in Queensland.. The Wivenhoe Dam has been built across the
Sloy/Awe hydro power scheme. The 152.5MW Sloy Power Station and Dam is the largest conventional hydro power station in SSE''s existing hydro power fleet. Construction on the scheme began in 1949 and was
Pumped storage hydroelectric projects have been providing energy storage capacity and transmission grid ancillary benefits in the United States and Europe since the 1920s. Today, the 43 pumped-storage projects operating in the United States provide around 23 GW (as of 2017), or nearly 2 percent, of the capacity of the electrical supply system
Pumped-storage hydro-electric. Hydroelectricity relies on gravity to propel water through power-generating turbines. The difference in height between the turbine and the water source is known as the "head". Scotland has two
The Lesotho Highlands Development Authority (LHDA) has announced it has successfully restored and brought back Unit 1 at the Muela Power Station into
450 pumped storage units installed worldwide by Voith. In 1937, Voith developed the first large, single-stage pump turbine, which operated both as a turbine for energy generation and in the reverse direction as a pump. Today, nearly 450 Voith pump turbines have been installed worldwide with a combined output of more than 60 000 megawatts.
