Gov. Shapiro’s Energy Plan

Join us for a Zoom Webinar on Tuesday, March 26th 2024 – 7-8 PM

Governor Shapiro has released his Clean Energy Plan, which lays out two major policies:

PA Reliable Energy Sustainability Standard (PRESS)-  This expands the current Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard to reach 35% clean energy by 2035, adds a third tier and includes new resources.  

Pa Climate Emissions Reduction Initiative (PACER) –  This PA specific cap and invest program caps carbon emissions and requires polluters to purchase allowances. PA will set the price for allowances. Unlike RGGI, PACER will include a refund to customers to bring down their energy bills and insure that no one’s bills will increase.

*UPDATE* (3/21/2024): Cosponsorship memos were just released for the Governor’s PRESS and PACER clean energy programs.  Legislation is expected to follow shortly.
