In 1929, 59 former companies were incorporated into the Niagara Hudson Power Corporation. In 1932 an Art Deco-style headquarters building was constructed in Syracuse.[2] It was the main electric and natural gas provider for a large swath of northeastern, central and western New York, including the Capital District, Syracuse, Buffalo and Niagara Falls.

The Nine Mile Point Nuclear Generating Station was erected by Niagara Mohawk. The first unit was completed in 1969, and was followed by a second unit in 1988.[2]
