The facility in Fall Creek Gorge contributes a small but significant\u2014and renewable\u2014portion of the University\u2019s power<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Lindsay Lennon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking across the Suspension Bridge, you may have spotted a small stone building, tucked way down into the northern side of Fall Creek Gorge. It\u2019s Cornell\u2019s very own hydroelectric plant<\/a>. And despite its unassuming appearance, it packs a punch\u2014in fact, it generates 3 to 5 percent of the Hill\u2019s electricity each year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also the oldest component of the University\u2019s ongoing commitment to renewable energy\u2014an effort that also includes solar arrays<\/a>, Lake Source Cooling<\/a>, and the proposed Earth Source Heat<\/a> system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, one key fact: the hydroelectric plant is not to be confused with the Hydraulic Laboratory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That venerable research facility, formerly visible from the Thurston Avenue Bridge, was on Fall Creek Gorge\u2019s south side; it was state of the art when it opened in 1898, but stood empty for decades before collapsing into the gorge in 2009. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hydro plant is fueled by water from Beebe Lake, which flows through a trash-clearing mechanism and through the intake house, a roofed structure with a wooden gate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it enters a 1,700-foot concrete pipeline (called a \u201cpenstock\u201d) <\/strong>plunging 140 feet into the gorge, through the power-producing turbines inside the plant, and back into the creek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mainly operated remotely, the plant is accessed via 122 steps down into the gorge\u2014rarely, and only by those who hold the keys to the two locked gates bearing \u201cNo Trespassing\u201d signs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frank Perry, thermal distribution and hydroplant manager (who works in Energy and Sustainability<\/a> within Facilities and Campus Services), or another staffer comes over from the Humphreys Service Building on the other side of campus to check on it about once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsually I stop at the intake and clear some trash off,\u201d says Perry, who also gives tours of the plant to students. <\/strong>\u201cOtherwise, it just runs itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plant was built in 1904, continuing a tradition of drawing power from Fall Creek\u2014a history with direct links to Ezra Cornell\u2019s early days as an industrious young man eager to seek his fortune. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Upon settling in Ithaca in 1828, Ezra had found work as a mechanic in a cotton mill which\u2014like many at the time\u2014was powered by water from the surrounding creeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job led to a longstanding business relationship with flour miller Jeremiah Beebe, who enlisted Ezra to build the first stone dam on Beebe Lake.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u201cThe summer of 1830 I … blasted the tunnel through the rock to take water from the dam above the falls for the mill,\u201d Ezra reminisced in 1861. \u201cIn 1831 we lowered the tunnel four feet, and built a new dam across the creek.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Sustainability Office notes, the University began investing in hydropower as soon as it opened in 1868, when trustees approved $1,500 for the purchase of a water wheel and pumps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are one or two other universities that have built hydro plants,\u201d Perry observes, \u201cbut not on their own campus.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

There are one or two other universities that have built hydro plants, but not on their own campus.<\/p>\nHydro plant manager Frank Perry<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

And until the 1940s, he points out, the University was powered solely by the hydro plant and steam-driven generators. But lower energy costs during the advent of nuclear power in the 1960s meant that, by the following decade, it made more financial sense for the University to cease the plant\u2019s operation than to fund its upkeep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Additionally, for many years Cornell burned as much as 65,000 tons of coal annually to fire its central energy plant; that ended in 2011<\/a>, when a combined heat and power plant\u2014another key part of the University\u2019s sustainability initiative\u2014came online.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 1981, in the wake of the energy crisis of the late 1970s, the hydroelectric plant\u2019s interior was completely rebuilt, with two turbines producing up to 6 million kilowatt-hours per year directly into Cornell\u2019s power grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has since had more upgrades, and in 2021\u2014after a five-year recertification process\u2014the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved the facility for another 40 years of clean energy production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to see the plant\u2019s energy output\u2014which is, of course, dependent on the seasonal flow of water\u2014for yourself? You can monitor it<\/a> online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
