In context: how this plant compares

At 216 MW, Senj Hydroelectric Power System Croatia Croatia is well above the median hydro plant in Croatia (55.5 MW). Technically it is described as conventional storage. Its current lifecycle status is “Pre Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Hydropower converts the energy of falling or flowing water into electricity; output depends on rainfall and reservoir level, and large dams also provide grid balancing and storage.

Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
