Handsome Lake Generating Station

Providing On-Demand Power with Fast-Start Generation

Handsome Lake Generating Station, powered by fast-responding units, is a reliable natural gas facility that delivers electricity when demand spikes. Owned and operated by Constellation, Handsome Lake is a five-unit, 268-megawatt (MW) natural gas-fueled electric generation facility located in Rockland Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania. The facility's five units are dispatched as needed to help meet Pennsylvania's peak energy demand periods, ensuring reliability when it matters most.

Constellation takes a safety-first approach in our culture and business practices. All Constellation generation facilities employ sophisticated emergency response plans designed to protect public health and safety. These plans are reviewed and approved by state governments and federal regulatory agencies and include coordination with local and municipal officials, as well as thousands of volunteers and first responders.

To protect the safety and health of our employees, contractors, customers and communities, we've implemented a number of initiatives to promote safe behaviors both on and off the job. These include a safety behavior observation program and focused initiatives on high-risk areas. We offer safety training integrated with leadership development programs for supervisors and managers, as well as new employee orientation. Plus, a safety peer group identifies successful pilot programs and best practices that can then be adopted across the entire organization.

Handsome Lake pays local real estate taxes every year to support county and township government, area schools, libraries, park districts and other public services.
