Every turbine gives 300-400 homes power.
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.

No, the first hydroelectric power plant was not built at Hoover Dam. The first commercial hydroelectric power plant was established in 1882 at Appleton, Wisconsin. Hoover Dam, which was completed in 1936, is one of the largest and most famous hydroelectric facilities, but it came much later in the development of hydroelectric power.
Coal power plants typically produce around 2-3 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity for every pound of coal burned. The energy produced can vary depending on the efficiency of the plant.

None.
The Hoover Dam was built over five years from 1930 - 1935. Its reservoir holds 9.2 trillion gallons of water and produces 2.8GW of power, roughly as much as 3 nuclear power stations.
