Company Summary

Description

The Bear Swamp complex, completed in 1974, is on the Deerfield River in Rowe and Florida, Massachusetts. Bear Swamp comprises an underground pumped storage generating station and two conventional hydroelectric stations. New England Power Company developed Bear Swamp to meet the expanded peak load periods when New England's electricity consumers place the heaviest demand on the system. In the process, a large tract of land on both banks of the river was opened to public recreational use.
