To produce electricity
I don't know about hilly areas (many stations are next to dams), but they have to be built where the water flows through the turbines by gravity (i.e., does not have to be pumped).
In China, approximately two power stations are being built each week.
someone please answer this question? :/
The first power plant was built in Bavarian in 1878
Public opinion on nuclear power varies widely by region and context. Some people support the construction of more nuclear power stations as a means to reduce carbon emissions and provide a stable energy supply, especially in the face of climate change. Others oppose it due to safety concerns, waste management issues, and the potential for accidents. Overall, the desire for more nuclear power often hinges on local energy needs, environmental priorities, and perceptions of safety.
hydropower
because the conditions for a hydroelectric power stations in the uk aren't right so only a few can be built.

Only the wildlife that used the power plant site before it was built
A dyson sphere could never be built. However space based solar power stations could be built with the help of space elevators, space fountains & launch loops. Space based solar power stations will reduce the effect of global warming due to the expansion of the sun into a red giant & also space based solar power stations could help to power laser powered vehicles.
They are built on flat land because the dams in the power station cannot be tilted.This is because the dam would be tilted and wouldn't be secure to build.
Britain's nuclear power stations were built on the west coast due to historical reasons, such as the availability of cooling water from the sea and proximity to population centers. This location also reduces the risk of radioactive contamination spreading over densely populated areas in case of an accident. However, newer nuclear power stations are being built inland to diversify the locations.
so that money doesn't get wasted on transport ;to avoid delays on coal deliveries
there are no solar power stations in new zealand
Stella power stations was created in 1954.
