GenOn Energy
GenOn Energy owns and operates a portfolio of power generation facilities in eight states and is one of the leading providers of electricity in competitive markets in the United States with a total operating capacity of more than 14,000 megawatts.
The company is strongly committed to employee safety and caring for the environment and the communities where we operate, while providing reliable, affordable power to our customers. Our power generation assets are located in key regions of the country and include a combination of base-load, intermediate and peaking units. These assets use coal, natural gas and oil in generating electricity.
The Shawville Station is located on a 947-acre site along the West Branch of the Susquehanna River, 10 miles northeast of Clearfield, Pennsylvania. The plant’s four coal-fired steam units (597 MW) and three diesel units (6 MW) have a total generating capacity of 603 megawatts. Of the coal units, units 1 and 2 began commercial operation in 1954, while Units 3 and 4 started in 1959 and 1960, respectively. From 1993 to 1995, low NOx burners, environmental equipment designed to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide, were installed on all four units at Shawville. In addition, the station uses electrostatic precipitators to control particulate emissions. Units 1-4 are base load units with regulation capability. Diesel units 5 through 7 are peaking units and provide black start capability.
