Boeing installed 3 large gas turbine driven generators to provide back up power. Boeing made a deal with PECO that allows them to curtail some but not all power to Boeing, with a couple hours notice, if there's a shortage. In return Boeing saves $1 million every year on the electric bill whether there's a shortage or not. If it was cheaper, Boeing would run those suckers all the time.
