About
Most of the plant structures are in Montgomery County. This facility is near Philadelphia. [1]
Limerick Generating Station is located in southeastern Pennsylvania, about 20 miles northwest of Philadelphia in Montgomery County. The station is built on a 600-acre site, and draws its cooling water from the Schuylkill River. Its Units 1 and 2 began commercial operation in February 1986 and January 1990, respectively.
Both of Limerick’s units are boiling water reactors designed by General Electric. Unit 1 is capable of generating 1,149 net megawatts, while Unit 2 is capable of generating 1,146 net megawatts. Together, they can produce enough power to support the electricity needs of more than two million average American homes. [2]
