The Historic Mechanicville Hydroelectric Station. 1. The Early Days [History]
Abstract :
This paper deals with the Mechanicville hydro plant which is believed to be the oldest continuously operating hydroelectric generating facility in North America. It stands as a tribute to good engineering, the dedicated efforts of maintenance personnel over the years, and the commitment of its current owners to continue to provide clean, renewable electric power from this historic facility. Each of the seven generators at the Mechanicville plant could provide 750 kW
