  • World-wide, about 20% of all electricity is generated by hydropower. (1)
  • Hydropower provides about 10% of the electricity in the United States. (1)
  • The United States is the second largest producer of hydropower in the world. Canada is number one. (1)
  • Norway produces more than 99% of its electricity with hydropower. New Zealand uses hydropower for 75% of its electricity.
  • In the U.S., hydropower produces enough electricity to serve the needs of 28 million residential customers.hydro-1.gif This is equal to all the homes in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, North and South Dakota, Kentucky, and Tennessee. (1)
  • In Wisconsin, hydropower accounts for 4.1% of the electric generating capacity and 4.4% of the total electricity generated. (2)
  • Hydropower production in Wisconsin is about 2.1 billion kilowatt hours (kwh) per year. Based on a home using 8, 000 kwh of energy and 2.5 people per home, this is enough energy to supply the residential needs of 650, 000 people. (2)
  • Hydropower can come "on line" quickly to meet rapid increases in electric demand and respond to emergency energy needs. (1)

Environment

  • Hydropower is clean. It prevents the burning of 22 billion gallons of oil or 120 million tons of coal each year. (1)
  • Hydropower does not produce greenhouse gasses or other air pollution. (1)
  • Hydropower leaves behind no waste. (1)
  • Reservoirs formed by hydropower projects in Wisconsin have expanded water-based recreation resources, and they support diverse, healthy, and productive fisheries. In fact, catch rates for gamefish like walleye and smallmouth bass are substantially higher on hydropower reservoirs than natural lakes. (3)
