Exelon’s Distributed Generation fleet consists of numerous combustion turbine (CT) assets, located throughout Southeastern Pa. With a total capacity of 1,078 megawatts, these units provide remote site start capability and are used for peak demand periods and load balancing.
Exelon operates 35 natural gas and oil fired CT units at 10 sites in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties in Pennsylvania.
Three units also provide synchronous condenser turbine operation for system reliability and voltage stability.
These small units, sometimes referred to as "jets," are used for peak demand generation during the hottest and coldest days of the year.
