Best Answer

The world's largest power station is the Three Gorges Dam hydroelectric generating plant in China. The dam, which crosses the Yangtze River near the town of Sandouping in Hubei province, is more than 2 kilometres across. The power plant produces 22.5 GW.

The next largest power station in the world is also hydroelectric. The power plant at Itaipu Dam is only 14 GW. While it is much smaller in comparison, it actually produces more electricity because of the higher rainfall in the catchment of the Paraná River located on the border between Brazil and Paraguay.
