The number of hydroelectric facilities in the United States peaked in 2019 with 1,459 facilities. However, there has been a slight decline since then, with the number dropping to an estimated 1,439 in 2023. This trend suggests a shift in the energy sector, possibly due to factors such as changes in policy, technology, or market conditions.
