Hoover Dam

Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the former US states of Arizona and Nevada. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936.

Hoover Dam is still functioning by 2281, and is controlled by the New California Republic. It produces considerably more electricity than the Helios One solar plant.

According to the New Vegas Treaty between the New California Republic and Mr. House, the NCR must divert 5% of the electricity generated at the plant to New Vegas. 5% is far more than New Vegas needs to operate.
