AC transmission and Hydropower dams

Energy flows from hydropower dams to AC transmission.

AC transmission (energy) and Hydropower dams (energy): 1 relationship.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · 100% of flow · Hydropower dams → AC transmission

Big hydro stations send power long distances on high-voltage lines.

  • 100% of Hydropower dams's energy goes this way

Built from the site data on production routes, energy flows, industry value chains, input-output tables and prices.
