Sunbury Generation Confirms Conversion to Natural Gas

Sunbury Generation…will soon be generating more electricity by burning natural gas. … Reports show that the plant will be able to generate enough electricity to power 500,000 homes. … The switchover may result in cheaper electricity. "We have the largest natural gas line potentially right under our territory," [Don Brominski, director of business development at UGI Utilities] said. "That's going to have downward pressure on prices." UGI just lowered rates on Dec. 1 because of the Marcellus shale gas boom, he said. (Daily Item, 12/28/11)
