Exelon owns and operates one run-of-the-river and one pumped storage hydroelectric station. Though two separate types of facilities, the two hydroelectric stations provide much needed load leveling and base load power to the region.
The hydroelectric stations, Conowingo Hydroelectric Generating Station and Muddy Run Pumped Storage Facility, consist of 19 units that provide 1,619 megawatts of reliable, environmentally friendly power generation that compliments the company's fossil, renewable, and nuclear portfolios.
The installation of fish lifts at the Conowingo Dam has helped restore the American shad population over the past 30 years. Exelon's stewardship of 9,000 acres of land along the lower Susquehanna River offers public recreation and nature conservancy within the region.
