List of power stations in Pennsylvania

Sources of Pennsylvania utility-scale electricity generation:
full year 2022 ^[1]

  Natural Gas (54.5%)

  Nuclear (32.0%)

  Coal (9.5%)

  Wind (1.6%)

  Hydroelectric (0.9%)

  Biomass (0.7%)

  Non-Biogenic Waste (0.6%)

  Solar (0.1%)

  Petroleum (0.1%)

In 2019, Pennsylvania had a total summer capacity of 47,812 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 228,995 GWh. ^[2] The corresponding electrical energy generation mix was 42.9% natural gas, 36.3% nuclear, 16.5% coal, 1.5% hydroelectric, 1.4% wind, 0.9% biomass, 0.4% non-biogenic waste, and 0.1% petroleum. Small-scale solar, which includes customer-owned photovoltaic panels, delivered an additional net 492 GWh of energy to the state's electrical grid. This was more than five times greater than the 83 GWh (0.04%) of generation by Pennsylvania's utility-scale photovoltaic plants. ^[1]

The generating mix in Pennsylvania has been shifting from coal to gas, as in other U.S. states. Extraction of the state's fossil-fuel resources for domestic and foreign export sale ranked among the highest in the nation during 2019. ^[3]
