| The Mercer Generating Station |
|
| The Mercer Generating Station is a three-unit, 751 MW plant located just downstream from the tidehead of the Delaware River, four miles south of Trenton, NJ. The Mercer plant was built to meet the growing electric demands of South Jersey, and when it began operation, it was the largest plant in the PSEG system.

The plant uses state-of-the-art environmental control technology, including electrostatic precipitators to remove particulates and selective non-catalytic reduction (SCR) for nitrogen oxide control. To further reduce NOx emissions, it also utilizes amine-enhanced fuel lean gas reburn (AEFLGR) technology. This is anticipated to be replaced shortly by a selective catalytic reduction (SCR).
