Description:
The Beaver Falls power plant originally went on line in 1947 with two used, 2,500 kilowatt generators purchased from the City of Seattle. A major, three-million-dollar upgrade, begun in 1953 and completed the following year, substantially increased the output and reliability of the plant.
