Hydropower supplied about 15 percent of the world electricity, almost 4,210 terawatt-hours, in 2023, an amount that surpasses the combined output of all other renewable energy sources as well as global nuclear power generation, anchoring hydroelectric power as one of the largest utility industry segments worldwide.
