Montana Power and Potential of Hydro-Electric Power
Montana uses the most electricity per capita in the nation. Water power supplied 99.2 percent of its output, with Montana producing about seven percent of U S electricity from hydro in 1922. Major users include Anaconda smelters, Great Falls, and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul railways, with extensive electrified railways and large undeveloped hydro capacity totaling 874000 horsepower.
