Pennsylvania Water and Power was an American company. It was the first power plant in the world to combine a hydroelectric generator and a coal power generator on the same site.[where?] John Abbet Walls was president.[1] In 1930 it became a minority shareholder in the Safe Harbor Water and Power Corporation, incorporated in order to construct and operate the Safe Harbor Dam, together with the 2/3rd majority shareholder, the Consolidated Gas Electric Light and Power Company of Baltimore.[2] The dam, lake and generating plant were all constructed and operational within two years. Seven generating units were installed with a total capacity of 230 MW, costing $34 million.[2]
