Throwback Thursday to 1896 when the Westinghouse-Tesla team powered the world's first large-scale hydroelectric power plant at Niagara Falls. This was the first commercial transmission of electricity over a long distance, sending power 20+ miles to Buffalo! 

The Niagara Power Station No. X generated up to XX megawatts of electricity in the 1900s. Today, a single AP1000® reactor generates more than a gigawatt of electricity!
