Nuclear: Pennsylvania’s Clean Energy Future
When it comes to keeping the lights on, it takes more than just the flip of a switch. It takes Pennsylvania nuclear power!

Did You Know?
- Pennsylvania ranks #2 in the U.S. for nuclear power generation.1
- Nearly 1/3 of all electricity produced in Pennsylvania is from nuclear power plants.2
- Pennsylvania’s four active nuclear plants could power 7.5 million homes.2
- Nuclear power plants support 4,500 well-paying jobs for Pennsylvania workers.2
Demand for electricity is growing rapidly, and we don’t have enough clean energy sources to keep up with future demand.
Pennsylvania needs to add NEW NUCLEAR POWER to ensure that when we flip the switch, we can all keep our lights on.
Pennsylvania nuclear is:
CLEAN
- Nuclear is a carbon-free energy source.
- 92% of carbon-free power in Pennsylvania is generated by nuclear.2
SAFE
- Nuclear is among the safest of all power generation sources.3
- New advanced nuclear technologies, such as small modular reactors, are even more efficient, safe and faster to bring online.4
RELIABLE
- Nuclear energy is always available, generating electricity 24/7, 365 days a year.5
- The continued investment and expansion of nuclear energy is essential to grid reliability and Pennsylvania’s clean energy future.
