Straight-line distances. Nearest named waterway via the USGS National Hydrography Dataset; nearest transmission line via HIFLD. Baseline water stress and groundwater trend describe the surrounding hydrological basin (WRI Aqueduct 4.0, CC BY 4.0) — not this facility’s measured water use. Principal-aquifer system underlying the location (USGS, mapped at 1:2,500,000 — regional context, not site hydrogeology).
Supplies power to MetaCompany-level / grid-region purchase — no single named campus.
Part of the Jan 2026 Vistra-Meta 20-year PPA package (2,609 MW total across three plants). IMPORTANT: Beaver Valley's Meta allocation is uprate-only — a 140 MW share of a fleet-wide uprate program (full delivery targeted ~2034), roughly 7% of the plant's ~1,872 MW capacity. None of its existing output is Meta-contracted; the 1,872 MW / 2,012 MW capacities are the whole plant, not Meta's slice. Grid-matched, so no poweredFacilityIds. Operated by Vistra since the 2024 Energy Harbor acquisition.
Two-unit ~1,872 MWe net PWR station (units commercial 1976 and 1987), delivering into the PJM grid. Of this, only a planned 140 MW uprate share is contracted to Meta; the existing output continues serving the broader grid.
Vistra and Meta announced a 20-year PPA; unlike Davis-Besse/Perry, Meta's Beaver Valley allocation is uprate-only — a 140 MW share of a planned equipment uprate, with none of the plant's existing 1,872 MW contracted to Meta.
Vistra and Meta Announce Agreements to Support Nuclear Plants in PJMConfirmed: data verified against official filings, permits, or direct operator announcements.
