| The Hudson Generating Station is a two unit 923 MW station located on a 250 acre site on the Hackensack River in Jersey City, NJ, three miles upstream from Newark Bay. Unit 1 is a load following unit installed in 1964. It runs mainly on natural gas but can also run on oil. When it began operation, it was the largest unit in the PSEG system.

Unit 2 is a load following unit installed in 1968. It runs mainly on coal but can run on natural gas or oil. The unit burns only low sulfur coal to reduce the emissions of sulfur dioxide and utilizes an electrostatic precipitator to control particulate emissions. The Hudson Generating Station was built on the site of the former Marion Generating Station, the first PSEG plant, which started operation in 1906. The Marion Station was the largest in the PSEG fleet until 1924. The bulk of the Marion station was retired in 1961, as construction on the Hudson Station began.
