Batavia's Electricity Sources

Batavia purchases its electric power from different suppliers that deliver the electricity over the PJM Interconnection grid.  Like other bulk ingredients that are mixed, it is impossible to determine the power's exact source.  However, in aggregate, the power on the PJM grid is generated from these general sources:
  57%  Coal
    5%  Natural Gas
  35%  Nuclear
    2%  Renewable.
We can assume Batavia's power is based on a similar mix.  Batavia purchases this power in bulk and distributes it to residents and businesses through municipal substations and transmission lines. 

Recently we have also invested in the generation of a portion of our electric power.  Through this investment, the city will begin to generate electricity from one (and hopefully two) new plants.  The first, Prairie State Energy Campus coal mine and power plant, will supply about 50% of our electric power.  In addition, the city is investigating an investment in a wind power farm near Rochelle, IL.  We would own two wind turbines through NIMPA/EcoEnergy-Acciona wind project.  It would generate between 2-5% of our power.  The remaining would continue to be supplied through the market.
