Sir Adam Beck #2 was built in phases. [NiagaraFallsInfo_station2]

Generators: Units 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 went into service in 1954.

Generators: Units 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 went into service in 1955.

Generators: Units 23 and 24 went into service in 1957.

Sir Adam Beck #1 taught me that the date of the first phase is used to date the power station. Originally, the generators were 25hz instead of 60hz. [NiagaraFallsInfo_station1]

Generators: Units #1, #2 and # 4 went in service on 26 January 1922.

Generators: Unit #5 went into service in 1923.

Generators: Units # 8 and #9 went into service on December 5th 1925.

A hydro canal was dug for #1, but #2 uses two 14m (46') tunnels to carry the water from upstream of the falls. [NiagaraFallsInfo_station2]
