Fairless Hills Generating Station is a two-unit, 60-megawatt (MW) station located inside the USX Fairless Works Facility in Fairless Hills, PA.
Fairless Hills uses landfill gas from Waste Management's Tullytown and Grows landfills as its primary fuel source.
Exelon purchased the Fairless Hills Generating Station from USX Corporation in 1997.
The Fairless Hills TGA and TGB units were recently upgraded and are among the largest landfill gas generation plants in the United States.
In 1997, PECO Energy, an Exelon company, received the Pennsylvania Governor’s award for Environmental Excellence for the development of the methane gas generation facility at Fairless Hills.
