Niagara Power Venture Progressed at Niagara Falls
The Niagara power project under Nikola Tesla advances as a one and a half mile tunnel and a plant capable of 120000 horsepower expands near Buffalo. Power now leased to local manufacturers and tramways, with 10000 horsepower to Buffalo and 5000 held in reserve. A line to Buffalo will carry 10000 horsepower, and a 25000 volt system uses alternating current with stepdown transformers. Cost tests show large plants are cheaper per horsepower, while distribution losses and future New York transmission remain uncertain.
