Answer the following Q with stream of consciousness. Context: Hoover Dam impounds Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States by volume (when it is full). The dam is located near Boulder City, Nevada, a municipality originally constructed for workers on the construction project, about 30 mi (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. The dam's generators provide power for public and private utilities in Nevada, Arizona, and California. Hoover Dam is a major tourist attraction; nearly a million people tour the dam each year. The heavily traveled U.S. Route 93 (US 93) ran along the dam's crest until October 2010, when the Hoover Dam Bypass opened.

Question: where does the energy from the hoover dam go?
The relevant sentence in the passage is: The dam's generators provide power for public and private utilities in Nevada, Arizona, and California. Therefore, the final answer is public and private utilities in Nevada , Arizona , and California.
