• Niagara Falls & River Railway Power House, operating in Queen Victoria Park, Niagara Falls, Ontario, between 1892 and 1932, supplying electricity (2 MW from three turbines) to its trains and electric trolleys operating between Queenston and Chippawa. Niagara Parks Commission removed tracks and generation station eventually demolished; later site of Niagara Parks People Mover station at Table Rock and now WEGO Station • William Birch Rankine Power Station, opened in 1905 by the Canadian Niagara Power Company, which was founded in 1892. It was purchased by the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation in 1950, and then by the Fortis Incorporated Power Group in 1999–2000, after which it was retired from service following an agreement with Ontario Power Generation, the provincial utility. It is now a museum operated under the name Niagara Parks Power Station. • Ontario Power Company Generating Station, also opened in 1905, purchased by the Ontario Hydro Power Commission in 1917 and then decommissioned in 1999. • Electrical Development Company (EDC), later named the Toronto Power Company, built the Toronto Power Generating Station, operating between 1906 and 1973. • Sir Adam Beck Hydroelectric Generating Stations, are two hydroelectric generating stations in Niagara Falls, specifically Queenston Heights, Ontario, Canada, opened in 1922 and originally named the Queenston Chippawa Power Station.
