Tasmania generates more electricity per head of population than any place in the world except Norway, and 99% of that power is generated from clean, self-renewing water. This history of the Hydro-Electric Commission - the Hydro - in Tasmania, seeks to capture the foresight and determination of those who began harnessing this priceless resource late last century, and built an efficient Statewide energy grid, not without controversy.
