Over-Generation/Production


Explanation:
多发 here means 多发电，generating more electricity/power than planned, with some advantages of the hydro electricity, it naturally makes ill impact on the fosil fuel electricity/power (generation) industry. Up to here, I believe that you have been enough inspired and understand my suggestions as titled.

Hope helpful, good luck, Willam!
