That would depend on the dam - specifically, the amount of water that flows through, and the difference in height that can be obtained.

Potential energy is calculated as: PE = mgh; in SI units: potential energy (in Joule) is equal to the mass (in kg) times the gravitation (9.8 m/sec square) times the height (in meters); you can use this to calculate energy.

If you are interested in power, assume that a certain amount of water flows through every second - the result will be Joule / second, that is, Watts.
