Embracing Hydroelectric Power

Hydroelectric power is helping fill the gap in the energy supply of Australian homes. ⁠
⁠
Many may be unaware, but hydroelectric power currently powers hundreds of thousands of properties all over Australia, accounting for a vast portion of the energy generated through renewable sources.⁠
⁠
As water passes from a reservoir, it passes through a turbine (or energy generator). When the water passes through the turbine blades, the generator converts the motion into energy. ⁠
⁠
This source of energy has the potential to power households during peak demand periods to minimise grid outages. ⁠
