Answer:

Hydroelectric power plant converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Most of the hydroelectric plants use dams on the rivers to build the water reservoir.

The mechanical energy of the water is then used to spin the turbines of a hydroelectric generator which produces the electricity.

The transformers then convert the electricity produced by the generator into the high voltage.
