Niagara Falls hydroelectric generating plants are the hydroelectric powerplants in the vicinity of the Niagara Falls, a large geological feature which straddles the joint borders of Canada and the United States of America. Since 1882 a number of hydroelectric plants have generated electricity in both countries, including: ==Province of Ontario, Canada== * Niagara Falls & River Railway Power House, operating in Niagara Falls, Ontario's Queen Victoria Park between 1892 and 1932, supplying electricity to its trains operating between Queenston and Chippawa. * William Birch Rankine Power Station, opened in 1905 by the Canadian Niagara Power Company which was founded in 1892. It was purchased by the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation in 1950, and then by the Fortis Incorporated Power Group in 2000, after which it was retired from service following an agreement with Ontario Power Generation, the provincial utility. * Ontario Power Company, also opened in 1905, purchased by the Ontario Hydro Power Commission in 1917 and then decommissioned in 1999. * Electrical Development Company (EDC), later named the Toronto Power Company, operating between 1906 and 1973. * Sir Adam Beck Hydroelectric Generating Stations, are two hydroelectric generating stations in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, opened in 1922 and originally named the Queenston Chippawa Power Station. It was renamed after Sir Adam Beck in 1950, with significant expansions in 1954 and 2013. The two major power stations at the site are called Adam Beck I and Adam Beck II. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Niagara Falls hydroelectric generating plants」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
