Who invented hydro-electric power? Lester Allan Pelton was an American inventor who created an efficient form of impulse water turbine in 1878 in the goldfields.    In 1887 a miner attached Pelton's wheeâ¦l to a dynamo and produced the first hydroelectric power in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Placed in a river, a water wheel picks up flowing water in buckets located around the wheel. The kinetic energy of the flowing river turns the wheel and is converted into mechanical energy that runs the mill. In the late 19th century, hydropower became a source for generating electricity.The first hydroelectric power plant was built at Niagara Falls in 1879.ydroelectric power provides almost one-fifth of the world's electricity. China, Canada, Brazil, the United States, and Russia were the five largest producers of hydropower in 2004. One of the world's largest hydro plants is at Three Gorges on China's Yangtze River.
