The Hoover Dam in Arizona and Nevada was the first hydroelectric power station in the United States to have a capacity of at least 1,000 MW upon completion in 1936. Since then numerous other hydroelectric power stations have surpassed the 1,000 MW threshold, most often through the expansion of existing hydroelectric facilities.

Lake Buchanan (/ b ə ˈ k æ n ə n / [1] [2]) was formed by the construction of Buchanan Dam by the Lower Colorado River Authority to provide a water supply for the region and to provide hydroelectric power. Buchanan Dam, a structure over 2 mi (3.2 km) in length, was completed in 1939.
The dam has two hydroelectric power stations, one on either side of the border, with a capacity of 66 megawatts (MW) each. The maximum hydraulic head is 234 feet (71 m), with a minimum of 115 feet (35 m) required to run the plants. The four generators have a capacity of 33 MW each and are powered by a 42,300-hp (31.54-MW) Francis turbine.
