Safe Harbor Hydroelectric Development, Safe Harbor Water Power Corporation - recent reconstruction costing $125 million enhanced the east facade of the service building. The powerhouse is 1,011 feet long with dam included totalling 4,869 feet across the Susquehanna River. this hydroelectiric generating plant utilizes a 55 foot head of water impounded in a 10 mile long Lake Clarke; located 32 miles above the Chesapeake Bay.
Safe Harbor Hydroelectric Development, Safe Harbor Water Power Corporation - The Safe Harbor plant, located on the Susquehanna River 32 miles above the Chesapeake Bay, i sone of the largest hydroelectric "run of the river" dams in the eastern United States. it generates a rated capacity of 417,000 kilowatts, or approximately 1.2 billion kilowatt hours per year, servicing over 1/4 millon families. Original construction was started April 1930, with closure of the dam September 1931, and first generation December 7, 1931. The impounded Lake Clarke is 10 miles long with the dam being 4,869 feet long, 75 feet high with a 55 foot usable head of water for generation. The 1986 $125 million expansion increased the Power House from 638 feet to 1,011 feet, almost doubling the generation capacity. five additional 37.5 mw. General Electric generators were added to the 7 13,800 volt units producing 60 cycle and 25 cycle power.
