If the height of falling water is increased, more electrical power can be generated in a hydroelectric power plant. Why?

At a hydroelectric power plant, the water pressure head is at a height of 300 m and the water flow available is 100m^(3)s^(-1) . If the turbine generator efficiency is 60%, estimate the electric power available from the plant (g=9.8ms^(-2)) .

In a power station coal is burnt to heat water to produce steam which further runs the turbine to generate electricity. This power station is a
