Who invented hydro-electric power? Lester Allan Pelton was an American inventor who created an efficient form of impulse water turbine in 1878 in the goldfields.    In 1887 a miner attached Pelton's wheeâ¦l to a dynamo and produced the first hydroelectric power in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
In the late 19th century, hydropower became a source for generating electricity. Cragside in Northumberland was the first house powered by hydroelectricity in 1878 and the first commercial hydroelectric power plant was built at Niagara Falls in 1879. In 1881, street lamps in the city of Niagara Falls were powered by hydropower.
