    Among developments of the past decade that have enhanced the usefulness of hydroelectric power are the present large size of electric utility systems, the peaked nature of their loads, advances in long distance power transmission, and various improvements in the design and construction of hydroelectric plants. In this article the value of water power is analyzed in terms of the 2 main components of the cost of steam power — capacity and energy.
