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
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.
not a clue
To produce electricity
Yes. Hydro power stations are in the middle of countries
hydropower
because the conditions for a hydroelectric power stations in the uk aren't right so only a few can be built.
Power stations are often located on the coast because they can use seawater for cooling purposes, which is more efficient than using freshwater. The proximity to the coast also allows for easy transportation of fuel and access to water for cooling and steam generation. Additionally, being on the coast can provide the option for offloading fuel shipments by sea.
Most research stations are built near the coast, simply because of access. It's easier to transport supplies for building and maintaining the station from ships than it is from other modes of transport. The interior of Antarctica is home to several research stations. Vostok Station was built and is maintained by the Russian expeditions that drive over the ice from Mirny or Progress, both of which research stations are located on the coast. The South Pole Station, a US research station, is served by irregular air transport, based on the vagaries of weather in both the point of origin and at the pole.

for the passage of flood discharge
In China, approximately two power stations are being built each week.
Power stations are located on the coast for several reasons: access to cooling water for thermal power plants, easy transportation of coal or fuel via ships, reduced visual impact on land due to being hidden by water, and the ability to dispose of waste into the ocean. Additionally, coastal areas often have higher electricity demand which makes it convenient to have power stations nearby.
