  As we drive past the Niagara Power Generating Station, you’ll witness one of the world’s oldest and most significant hydroelectric power plants. Opened in 1922, this facility harnesses the immense power of the Niagara River to generate electricity for both Canada and the United States. It stands as a testament to the early use of renewable energy and the groundbreaking engineering that made it possible. While we won’t be stopping, you’ll have a chance to admire the station’s impressive structure and learn about its vital role in providing power to the region. The Niagara Power Generating Station is a key part of the area's history, and its continued operation highlights the importance of the Niagara River’s natural resources in shaping the region’s development.
