Overview
The interactive Existing Hydropower Assets State-level Capacity and Generation Map summarizes net electricity generation, generation capacity, and hydropower facility count by state and owner type from 2005-2024. Data is available for 1,213-1,385 US hydropower facilities varying by year. Generation data were obtained from the Existing Hydropower Assets (EHA) Net Generation Plant Database, 2003-2024 (Johnson, 2025) dataset which synthesizes data from US Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Form EIA 923. Capacity data were obtained from Existing Hydropower Assets (EHA) Capacity Plant Database, 2005-2024 (Johnson, 2025) which synthesizes data from Form EIA 860. Pumped storage and hybrid plants are excluded.
