Panda Hummel Station Power Plant
Shamokin Dam, Pennsylvania


Located along the west bank of the Sunquehanna River and adjacent to the site of the decommissioned coal-fired power plant, The Panda Hummel Station Power Plant is a 1,124MW natural gas fired, combined-cycle power plant proposed to replace the 400MW Sunbury coal fired power plant that was decommissioned in 2014 due to low natural gas prices and the introduction of strict environmental regulations by the US government.
Touted to be one of the biggest coal to natural gas conversion projects in the US, the project is being developed by the joint venture of Panda Power Funds and Sunbury Generation.
The new plant will be located adjacent to the site of the decommissioned coal-fired power plant, covering an area of approximately 18 acres within the 192-acre Keystone Opportunity Expansion Zone (KOEZ). The output from the Panda Hummel Station will be sufficient to serve approximately one million homes, primarily within Philadelphia and the New York metropolitan area.
Compared to the retired coal fired power plant, the new plant will generate 180% more power, use approximately 97% lesser cooling water, and reduce sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by more than 90%.
