[AC transmission](https://www.materialinsights.org/energy/e_hvac/) (energy) and [Hydropower dams](https://www.materialinsights.org/energy/e_hydro_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
