Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation | | Portuguese term or phrase: usina elevatória | Does anyone know the translation of Usina Elevatória? There is not much context. The text is about energy, and the term is part of photo caption. I will keep the name as it is, but I want to add a translation in brackets.
Usina Elevatória de Pedreira, inaugurada em 1939. |
