The Hoover Dam does not make energy. Energy, according to the first law of thermodynamics, can never be made.

The Hoover Dam converts the energy stored in running water by way of 17 turbines and electric generators into electric power. These turbines have a combined capacity of 2078MW, producing 4000 GWh per year.
