We are definitively not including hydro power and their dam projects in that category.

On a whole hydro has saved lives due to managing rivers which previously caused devastating floods.

The reason a ton of dams exists is not to make power, it is manage the river. Making power is a secondary concern.

But when we’re done with climate change we should of course restore as many rivers as possible due to the ecosystem damage they cause.
