PEC applauds the announcement of Gov. Shapiro's "Lightning Plan," unveiled today in PGH.
We look forward to continuing the dialogue of how to achieve clean energy goals while creating jobs and lowering costs for Pennsylvanians.

One of the most common critiques you'll hear of clean energy is that it's too expensive.
But if you look at where electricity prices are growing, it's the states powered by natural gas.
States with clean energy growth saw much slower rises in electricity bills.

On Monday, PEC testified in support of a landmark energy bill that would reduce Pennsylvania’s carbon emissions while creating jobs and protecting consumers from rising costs. Read more about the bill and why it's crucial that PA legislators pass it:

New analysis from @NRDC shows PRESS and PACER proposals more than satisfy @GovernorShapiro's three-part test for decarbonization policy:
✅cut emissions
✅create & protect PA energy jobs
✅deliver savings to PA utility consumers

Pennsylvania is home to one-third of the Nation’s abandoned mines, but thanks to the infrastructure law we’re making the investments we need to ensure surrounding communities no longer bear the brunt of pollution and damage caused by them.

We're the only state in the nation to secure two clean Hydrogen Hub projects, creating up to 41,000 jobs and paving the way for PA to lead the clean energy future.
Tom Gilbert, President of the @PECPA knows how critical these hub projects are — but also knows we need to invest more.
Let’s work together to build on our legacy as an energy leader.
Tom Gilbert retweeted
We’re kicking off a new era of energy leadership here in Pennsylvania.
My clean energy plan will create 14,500 jobs, save ratepayers $252 million, and address climate change head-on.
It is time for a bold vision for our energy future.
Let’s get it done: governor.pa.gov/energy

Good morning with good news: EVs are cleaner than ICE worldwide and in all big auto markets! A report by @coreycantor & @BloombergNEF crunched the numbers.
US EVs are cleaner in ~2 years.
EV lifecycle CO2 can be more than 70% less. EVs also get cleaner as grids get cleaner.
Tom Gilbert retweeted
Today we capped our 200th well here in Pennsylvania.
Abandoned wells are dangerous, leaking methane up to 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
That’s warming our planet and contributing to air pollution that damages our lungs and our hearts.
By capping these wells, we’re tackling a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions — and creating thousands of good-paying jobs in the process.
