Abstract :
The Minister of the Interior in his annual statement regarding the development, distribution, and use of hydroelectric energy in Canada reports an exceptionally substantial growth during 1924. More than 300,000 horse power of new installations were added during the year, involving some $45,000,000 in capital expenditure and bringing the total installation in the Dominion to 3,569,275 horse power. This does not, however, give a complete picture of the situation, as many large projects were carried well toward completion and will, when finished in 1925, bring a further addition of 600,000 horse power to the country´s total.
