Sir Adam Beck helped found the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, later known as Ontario Hydro, as he and others saw the development of hydroelectricity as being important to the development of the growing province. One of the earliest developments was the Queenston-Chippawa Hydro-electrical Power Station, which was constructed down-river from Niagara Falls in an effort to generate more electricity. This facility was finished in 1922 and used the Hydro-Canal to move the water 12km from the Niagara River to the site of the new power station. Sir Adam Beck died in 1925 during the construction of another power plant next to the 1922 structure, and it was decided to name the first plant, "Adam Beck I" and the nex plant, "Adam Beck II" in his honour.
