The most widely form of renewable energy is the hydropower, which produces electrical power using the gravitational force of falling or flowing water. Comparing to fossil fuel powered energy plants, hydropower plants are considered „green” energy source, because they do not produce direct waste and have almost no output level of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. Hydropower is the most important source of renewable electricity generation – 86.3 %, and essential to operate the others sources of renewable energy that are random generation.
