The Cellar gets juice from Excelon.
154.5 Mw wind power in PA and WV, owned by FPL and sold by Excelon.
Excelon produces 1619 megawatts of Hydro, 6,500 megawatts of coal, oil, and natural gas, and 129.7 million megawatt hours of Nu-clear. Unless my math sucks worse than I thought, that’s 15,046 Mw of Nuke.

In this area: (PECO).
Cromby~ 358 Megawatts, 2 units; 1 coal, 1 oil or natural gas.
Eddystone~ 1,359 Megawatts, 4 units; 2 coal, 2 oil or natural gas.
Schuylkill~ 175 Megawatts,1 unit; oil-fired – peaking
Philadelphia Distribution Center~1,078 Megawatts 38 natural gas and oil fired units at 11 locations in and near Philadelphia, 35 combustion turbine (CT) units at 10 sites in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties in Pennsylvania.
Also local Fairless Hills~ 60 Megawatts, 2 units; landfill gas or oil.

Conowingo~ 548 Megawatts, 11 units, hydro.
Muddy Run~ 1,071 Megawatts, 8 units, hydro. (Muddy Run is primarily used for peaking and load leveling. Excess system capacity is used to power motor/pumps during off peak hours to pump water from a lower reservoir into an upper reservoir.)

Limerick~ 1,200 net megawatts, 2 units, nuke. (power more than two million average American homes.)
Oyster Creek~ 636 net megawatts, 1 unit, nuke.
Peach Bottom~ 3186 net megawatts, 2 units, nuke.
Three Mile Island (unit #1)~ 850 net megawatts, 1 unit, nuke. (Damaged unit 2 is owned by someone else)

I’d say you’re good to go, UT.
