Countries with the most hydro-electric capacity

The ranking of hydro-electric capacity is either by actual annual energy production or by

installed capacity power rating. A hydro-electric plant rarely operates at its full power
rating over a full year; the ratio between annual average power and installed capacity
rating is the factor. The installed capacity is the sum of all generator nameplate power
ratings.
