Registration is now clo sed.\n\nConowingo Hydroelectric Generating Station is a run-of-the-river h ydroelectric power plant owned and operated by Exelon Power\, a business u nit of Exelon Generation.\n\nLocated on the Susquehanna River in northern Maryland\, Conowingo has been providing electricity to the regional system since 1928. When constructed from 1926 to 1928\, Conowingo was the larges t power plant ever built and had the largest turbines and generators to da te. When the Conowingo Dam was completed in 1928\, producing 252 megawatts (MW)\, it became the second largest hydroelectric project in the United S tates\, behind Niagara Falls.\n\nThe original plant had 7 turbines and\, i n 1964\, 4 more turbines were added. The water flow of the Susquehanna Riv er provides the fuel for the 11 current turbine generators\, producing 500 MW of electricity. Because water is used to turn the turbines\, Conowingo can be used to "jump start" the electric distribution system in the event of a system failure of the PJM connection.\n\nDue to expected demand\, pl ease note the following:\n\n- Registration is on a first registered-first served basis and closes Thursday\, May 12th\, 5:00 pm. No exceptions. We h ave to submit names to security a week in advance.\n- Registrants must be IEEE members (or IEEE member guests) and enter their membership number\, p hone number\, and email address when registering on V-tools Failure to ent er required information may result in a delayed or failed registration.\n- NO Walk-ins\n- Tour safety and security rules:\n\n- You must wear solid s hoes like sneakers – no flip flops\, high heels\, sandals\, or other typ e shoes that are open either in the front or back\n- Wear long pants and n o garments that are loose\, like a scarf\n- You cannot bring any bags\, ba ckpacks\, purses\, camera bags\, water bottles or drinks of any kind on th e tour.
