The last major hydroelectric plant built in the United States is the 2008-built North Anna Power Station's 3rd unit, which includes hydro capabilities, but it's important to note that many smaller hydro plants have been constructed since then.

Most new developments tend to focus on upgrading existing facilities rather than building new ones.
