Niagara Falls, Ontario has attracted tourists from all over the world since even the early 19th century. The Sir Adam Beck hydroelectric generating stations diverts water from the Niagara and Welland rivers upstream from the falls themselves and releases it into the Niagara River to produce up to 2000 MW of output power. According to the World Energy Council, the average Canadian household uses about 11MWh per year of electricity. Using these given data, estimate how many Canadian households can be powered by the Sir Adam Beck stations each year. (Assume the power station is running at full capacity of 2000 MW, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year). Question 5 options: 867,000 1.5 million 93,100 181
