The generator at Granite Plant is larger than the one at Stairs Station and can generate 1.3 megawatts at full load. It was built in 1896 to power the trolley car system in Salt Lake City. A wooden flume used to bring water from Stairs to Granite. Now it has been replaced with a 42"" concrete pipe.
