Power Plant #11 was originally constructed in 1914. The plans at the time called for the installation of two comparatiely small 3,500kva three-phase turbogenerators to start out with, but with sufficient additional infrastructure constructed onsite to permit an ultimate capacity of 100,000kw. It would eventually surpass that capacity, but by 1931, it was still only about a third of the way there as it was running three 13,000kw Westinghouse units (installed in 1914, 1918 and 1922, respectively). The 1931 addition consisted of a new 18,000kw 3,600rpm Westinghouse unit which brought the total capacity up to about 55,000kw. But even with the newest unit, the plant itself was comparatively obsolete by this point. In 1939, a massive $23 Million expansion program was undertaken in which the first of several state of the art 100,000+kw generating units were to be installed, one right after the other. The plant was retired in the early 2000's.
