Hydroelectric energy uses the potential energy of a mass of water in a high reservoir, that is released by running the water down pipes so that it gathers speed and eventually hits turbine blades to rotate a shaft that turns an electric generator.

The potential energy of the water comes from the Sun, which evaporated the water from the sea or other place and deposited it at a high level via rain on the upper part of the mountain.
