The Pennsylvania legislature is considering a bill (HB 2405) that would dramatically increase the amount of solar in the state, plus provide new demand for clean, renewable wind power. If passed, this legislation will once again cement the Keystone state as a national clean energy leader. Clean Currents is proud to be supporting this vital bill.
The bill would increase the percentage of energy that must be produced by solar energy in the state six-fold, creating enough solar energy to power more than 400,000 homes. It would practically double the amount of energy coming from wind power or clean biomass. It would also provide additional consumer protections and extend the Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard (AEPS) out until 2024.
Importantly, this is a bi-partisan effort. Clean energy should not be held hostage to politics, and it’s good to see that in Pennsylvania there is support from both sides of the aisle.
The fate of the bill is uncertain, however. So, if you live in Pennsylvania, please take action immediately!

Clean Currents is proud to be offering wind power for homes and businesses now in Pennsylvania. We would be even more interested in opening an office for solar energy installation if this bill passes.
