A hydroelectric plant uses water flowing downwards to turn turbines to produce electricity.
Some hydroelectric plants have pumping stations that move water up hill into holding facilities from which it is released to turn additional turbines during periods of high demand for electricity.
Cruachan Power Station is a storage hydro-electric power station whereas a Normal Hydroelectric power station is produced and then used, no storage needed.
In hydroelectric power station we use the potential energy of water to generate electricity.
