You need lakes and streams with a considerable amount of current, pressure and volume. It would be inefficient to setup a hydro electric power plant for a small body of water with like current. You also need to take into consideration things like the environment.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of renewable hydroelectric energy?

Hydroelectric energy is generated by a dam built over a river. Water is trapped by the damn and released through holes in the dam inside of which are turbines, turned by the rushing water which in turn power generators which make the electricity. The advantages are: They make infinite renewable energy with no effects on the environment other than river dwelling creatures habitats. Disadvantages are: The dams are expensive to build and can only be built high up in mountains where there are lakes and streams etc.

Why does new Zealand make more hydroelectric power than the UK?

New Zealand generates more hydroelectric power than the UK primarily due to its abundant water resources and mountainous terrain, which provide ideal conditions for hydroelectric generation. Approximately 60% of New Zealand's electricity comes from hydro sources, leveraging its numerous rivers and lakes. In contrast, the UK's energy mix is more diversified, with a significant reliance on fossil fuels and nuclear power, resulting in a lower proportion of hydroelectric generation. Additionally, New Zealand's commitment to renewable energy aligns with its natural advantages in hydropower.
