Hydroelectric Dam (Civ6)

The Hydroelectric Dam is an advanced building that supplies renewable energy in Civilization VI: Gathering Storm. It is built in the Dam district.
* Effects:
** Provides 6 to the city from renewable water sources.
== Strategy ==
The Hydroelectric Dam is the earliest available alternative to fossil fuel plants - a renewable source which is incidentally also the densest of the lot, providing 6 to its city. Unfortunately, its requirements limit its usefulness. Cities on Rivers become a bit less common in Gathering Storm due to the danger of flooding, but on top of that, not every city on a river gets to construct a Dam - your ability to do so will depend on whether there are Floodplains as well as whether there is already another Dam on the same river. Ultimately, your generation will be mostly via other sources. 
If you are lacking in and , a Hydroelectric Dam can be a worthwhile investment to complement your Power Plants. This is doubly true for the latter, since is required for constructing many military units as well and you should avoid using much of it. However, if you have tons of one of those two resources stockpiled, then whether or not to build one becomes more situational: if most of your cities are far from the Coast, for example, and you estimate coastal flooding from climate change will not affect you too much, then its moderately high cost might be better put elsewhere.
City Governor Reyna's Renewable Subsidizer title can boost the yield from this building by +2 and +2 .
Like all other buildings, the Hydroelectric Dam is city-unique, even if a city has multiple Dam districts.
