    Niagara falls: I am curious as to why the hydroelectric power station on the Canadian side was not modernised. But instead it was shut down.
    The question is why was the decision made to abandon the hydroelectric power station and not modernise it.
    I cannot find any kind of answers on the web. :)

    I didn't even know, but you're right, shut down in 2010.

    I found the answer.
    people often say every thing is just one click away. But some time you just have to keep going.
    I found my self on Wikipedia.
    The rocks are slowly moving in the power plant, The type of leccy produced 25Hz fell out of favour. The plant lost its licence to produce power.
