Schuylkill Generating Station is a one-unit, 166-megawatt (MW) peak generation facility located on the banks of the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, Pa. The facility operates during periods of increased demand on the regional power grid. The central steam plant portion of the station was sold, in 1996, to an independent power producer (Trigen).

The remaining Exelon portion consists of one main unit and two combustion turbines. The two, 15-MW, Combustion Turbines, operated on No. 2 fuel oil and are used to meet summer and winter regional peak demands.
