According to 2003 information (see Related Link, below), "Connecticut hydroelectric generation consists of 39 facilities contributing 151 MW" in addition to up to 1500 MWs imported from Hydro-Quebec.
OVER 9000!
this question does not make much sence but yes hydroecectric power is used lots in many different countries. Infact the world get 19% of its energy from hydroelectric power
Hydroelectric energy is electricity and is put on the national grid for use by the public. It is used for pretty much every modern process of anything, in some way or another.
Hydroelectric generators do not convert water into anything. And even assuming that the question means to ask: how fast does a hydroelectric generator produce energy? the short answer to that question would be instantaneously.A hydroelectric generator produces electricity by converting the kinetic energy of moving water into electrical energy via alternating magnets which are spun by the turbine getting hit by the moving water.If the question is: How much energy is produced by a hydroelectric generator, then that answer depends on the size and efficiency of the system.
It is widely used but not as much as hydrocarbons and hydroelectric. Japan has extensive nuclear facilities, Europe has many.
Switzerland, along with Austria and Luxembourg, are very much involved in using renewable energy sources to power their countries. These three countries in Central Western Europe rely on hydroelectric power for most of their energy needs.
it would probaly save alot of money bcause it is used to produce water energy and electricity.that is a two for one special.
Australia uses fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), solar energy, hydroelectric energy and wind-generated power.

Pretty much anywhere where there are decent sized rivers, a need for electricity, and enough money to build the dams.
One advantage to most hydroelectric plants, is the fact it normally produces much cleaner energy than say a coal power plant.
