Hydro-Electricity in Europe

Hydro-Electricity in Europe This group of projects, located in Germany, Poland and Romania, involve the construction of 3 generating stations, to add another 15000 MW of capacity in total.

At all 3 sites, large scale dams raise the water level immediately upstream of the powerhouse. The efficiency levels of these projects are very high -- around 92 per cent. Forced outage rates are low (around 4 per cent) and duration of maintenance shut downs is only 12 days a year.
