Yes, and although I don't know a lot about those hydroelectric plants, I'll be honest, I never heard anyone call it that before, I must be living in the dark ages :-) linemen always called it power too. Kind of a dialect specific to where you are from it seems, though maybe closer to your area on our side, might be different, I'm close to 400 miles to the east of Buffalo.
There were a lot of those smaller hydroelectric plants around, on the Hudson and or Mohawk rivers, my father was friends with an entrepreneur who bought one that was dilapidated, (I think there was a time when many of them were in disrepair, providing an opportunity to invest, rebuild and sell them) When rebuilt, I think they were sold back to the utility company, but not completely sure, I do know that this individual turned a few of them around and it was very profitable, was the foundation for a successful commercial building development company, the guys name escapes me right now.
I'll ask around & see if anyone else in this area ever called it that, don't ever recall hearing the term used for power. I've seen a lot of them from the river while fishing in a canoe, one near the old ford radiator plant in Green Island, was great place to catch herring for bait.
