Generator Units at Wilson Dam
Eight generator units are seen in the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) hydroelectric plant at Wilson Dam near Sheffield
in Colbert County. The dam was built during World War I to power nitrate plants and was acquired by TVA in 1933. The dam is
one of the largest in TVA's system, with a total of 21 generators.
