Our mission is to empower Pennsylvania residents with information about renewable energy and its benefits for our communities. This statewide network of support will foster awareness about solar and wind energies and the ways that they support communities through energy diversification and local investment.

As of December 31, 2024, Pennsylvania had an installed capacity of 1,730 megawatts of solar energy - enough to power around 290,000 homes across the state per year.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, wind energy was the state's largest source of renewable electricity generation and provided about 40% of the state's renewable electricity in 2020.
Pennsylvania produces over 20% more solar and wind energy than it did a decade ago.
As of mid-2021, the state had 26 operating wind farms, with a generation capacity of nearly 1,500 megawatts - enough to power around 250,000 homes per year.
Help us create fresh opportunities, a thriving economy, and a secure energy future for Pennsylvania!
Utility-scale solar projects are a collection of solar panels situated on the ground at a low angle to collect maximum energy from the sun. Natural vegetative screening blends the project into the surrounding environment.https://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/news/cloudy-days-and-solar-arrays
Wind turbines can function continuously. They are designed to capture wind even on calm days, ensuring that the maximum amount of energy is generated. Cold temperatures are no problem for wind turbines as they are engineered to function in temperatures as low as -22° Fahrenheit.https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/it-true-wind-turbines-dont-work-winter
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) support the grid by safeguarding against power disruptions and providing stability during peak demand times. BESS help avoid price spikes due to their ability to store energy when it is abundant and release it instantaneously when that energy is needed.https://cleanpower.org/resources/claims-vs-facts-energy-storage-leading-on-safety/
