Want to know where your power comes from???
Join us for an inside look at one of the most fascinating pieces of energy infrastructure in our region: the Walters Hydro Electric Project.
Perched high in the mountains and powered by the force of falling water\, the Walters hydroelectric facility has been quietly generating clean\, renewable electricity for nearly a century. Its engineering is impressive\, its history is rich\, and its role in supporting reliable power across the Carolinas is more important than ever. This session pulls back the curtain on how hydroelectric dams like Walters work\, why they matter\, and what it takes to keep them operating safely and sustainably.
