Hoover Uprating Project



About Hoover
The Hoover Hydro Project is located approximately 25 miles from Las Vegas, Nevada in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River. The Dam forms a portion of the boundaries between the states of Arizona and Nevada. The Hoover Project’s first generator reached full operation in October 1936 and the last generator in December 1, 1961. This fiscal year marked the last full year of this SCPPA project. Although the facility will of course continue to operate, the allocations return to the individual municipalities and the SCPPA debt is fully retired, as of October 1, 2017. SCPPA anticipates it will continue to serve in an advisory role to the members, as all 12 are now Hoover contractors.
