    The problem is really down to finding places where you can actually build something like a hydroelectric power plant.

    You need a large area you can safely flood. (No villages in the area or only villages you can buy out the owners of) or a high up lake.

    The area to flood needs to have the geology required to construct a dam safely.

    And finally, the area needs to be pretty high up and have an area below you can direct the outgoing water to.
