Safe Harbor Water Power Corporation is a hydroelectric power generator operating in the utilities sector and based in Conestoga, Pennsylvania. It was incorporated in 1930 by two stockholders, with one-third owned by Pennsylvania Water & Power Company and the remainder by the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company predecessor. Construction of the river-based facility began in 1929, power generation started in 1931, and the final unit entered service in 1940. The original installation consisted of seven generating units totaling 230 MW, and in the mid-1980s five more units were added to raise capacity to 417 MW. In 2014 the company was fully acquired by Brookfield Renewable Energy Group, placing its hydroelectric assets within a broader renewable energy portfolio. As a utilities operator, Safe Harbor produces and delivers renewable electricity to its regional market and employs a small workforce at its Pennsylvania base.
