Owner/operator :Exelon Energy LLC .
(Operatated by Susquehanna Electric Co. Ltd)
The Muddy Run plant stores energy by pumping water from the Susquehanna River uphill to Muddy Run Reservoir during periods of low electric power demand. During peak demand periods, the stored water rushes back downhill to turn the facility's 8 turbines, generating electricity. Muddy Run was the largest pumped storage plant in the world when it began commercial operation in 1966. Its current generating capacity is 1071 megawatts.The 14-mile stretch of the Susquehanna River, known as the Conowingo pond serves as the lower reservoir for the Muddy Run facility.
x8 Pmped Storgae Hydro-electric Gen stes
= 1, 071 MW max Total Gen. Capacity
