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? :/
They are built on land and towed to sea to the drilling site where the oil or gas is.

because the conditions for a hydroelectric power stations in the uk aren't right so only a few can be built.
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.

Because Neuclear Power Plants need water to cool down the reactors and thus the sea is a great place to get cold water from! :)

yes it is because power stations are making the ice malt and that makes sea levels rise, and Pole bears and prang-rings are dieing out by wazeeka
for the passage of flood discharge

So the power stations dont use up so much fossil fuels. They use water to spin the turbines in the power stations and then it goes into energy ;) x
