This plant is
... noteworthy as being practically the first high grade economical steam plant installed on this coast as a reserve plant for electric power transmission. The electric plant at Folsom was one of the first started in this State, and due to periods of low water in the American River at a lime when the power was most urgently required, it was found necessary to install this plant at Sacramento, the prime necessity being an engine that would stand a heavy overload.
