Pennsylvania’s competitive energy markets have encouraged billions in private capital investment in the state. Solar is currently the leading energy resource for new projects. With less government regulation, solar power can create jobs, save money for consumers, and help support family farms. The resulting economic growth can provide a reliable and consistent revenue stream for rural communities, saving local taxpayers and helping to fund critical infrastructure, public health, and safety services.
Presented in partnership with Cypress Creek Renewables, the PA Chamber proudly offered a free webinar, “Solar Energy: Helping Pennsylvania Consumers, Businesses & Communities.”
