This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, sorted by type and name. 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]

Sources of Pennsylvania utility-scale electricity generation:
full year 2021[1]

  Coal (12.1%)
  Natural Gas (52.7%)
  Hydroelectric (1.1%)
  Wind (1.5%)
  Nuclear (31.5%)
  Biomass (0.8%)
  Solar (0.1%)
  Petroleum (0.1%)
  Non-Biogenic Waste (0.4%)

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]
