Riverside Generating Station

[1] Water from the Patapsco River is used as the heat sink of the condensers of the steam turbines.

The site of the Riverside Generating Station was originally purchased by the Consolidated Gas and Light Company of Baltimore, a predecessor company to Constellation Energy, in 1922 for the location of a manufactured gas facility that was never built.

[1] In 2008, authorization was granted to modify and reactivate Unit 5 to operate only on natural gas[3] at an estimated cost of US$25 million.

[4] Exelon normally operates the Riverside Generating Station as a peaking power plant.

The Riverside Generating Station is dispatched by the PJM Interconnection regional transmission organization.
