How many acres of land are needed for a 2 million kilowatt hydroelectric plant?

1,000 acres. The total installed capacity of the hydroelectric unit is 2 million kilowatts and the average annual electricity production is 8.364 billion kilowatt hours. Considering storage after storage, it is 9.089 billion kilowatt hours, which requires 1,000 acres of land. A hydro generator refers to a generator that uses a hydraulic turbine as the prime mover to convert water energy into electrical energy. As water flows through the turbine, it converts the energy of the water into mechanical energy. The generator rotor, which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy and produces it, is the main electrical equipment for producing electrical energy in hydroelectric power stations.
