Pennsylvania ranks as the second largest producer of nuclear energy in the United States, with nuclear power generating 30% of the state's electricity through eight reactors at four sites: Beaver Valley, Limerick, Peach Bottom, and Susquehanna

The Crane Clean Energy Center (formerly TMI Unit 1) is scheduled to resume operations by 2027, adding 837 megawatts to the PJM electric grid

Pennsylvania's nuclear industry contributes approximately $2 billion to state GDP, generates $70 million in state tax revenue, and supports approximately 15,900 direct and secondary jobs

Nuclear plants in Pennsylvania prevent more than 37 million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually while providing nearly 9,500 megawatts of emission-free electricity
