Clinton Power Station, located near the central Illinois town of Clinton, is a single-unit nuclear generating facility capable of producing 950 net megawatts. The CPS reactor is a boiling water reactor design by General Electric. Clinton has been producing electricity for customers since 1987.

Clinton Station was built on one of the world's largest power plant sites: 14,300 acres, including the 5,000-acre Clinton Lake. The lake provides cooling water for the plant and offers the public a popular recreational area. About 10,000 acres of the CPS site have been leased to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and have been developed as the Clinton Lake State Recreation Area.

In December 1999, Clinton Station was sold by Illinois Power to AmerGen, a joint venture of PECO and British Energy, of Edinburgh, Scotland. In October 2000, Unicom Corp. merged with PECO Energy to form Exelon. AmerGen is now an Exelon / British Energy company.
