Update is required. There are now 6 facilities over 10 GW that are in operation worldwide. Baihetan hydropower plant was formally completed yesterday and connected to the grid and fully operational now. And it has 16GW which makes it the second largest in the world. [1]

Please go to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroelectricity#Large_facilities

And change third paragraph to;

Currently, only "six" facilities over 10 GW (10,000 MW) are in operation worldwide, see table below.

And also update the table to include all 6 currently operational hydro plants over 10GW. LastKeySoraya (talk) 01:38, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
