Couldn't tell you, though I could probably call my friend at PECO and ask him :) (just kidding, it's late and his wife would kill me). The jets aren't meant for direct power production, but to get other substations running. Power turbines use electromagnetism, but that means you need seed power to get them started. Each jet is paired to a single turbine; once they're spinning, power is sent to the other substations so they can get their turbines started. They supply power to all the homes.
