Kenny Slaught notes that the power generated from the dam is allocated across 15 areas. Among the biggest power consumers, Southern California uses up to 28% of Hoover Dam’s energy, followed by the State of Nevada with 23% and the State of Arizona at 18% of consumption volume. The dam also provides power to Native American tribes stationed in the area. Additionally, 90% of Las Vegas’ water is from the Hoover Dam. The lake formed in the dam is called Lake Mead.
