Gov. Shapiro’s Statewide Energy Initiative Makes PA the 1st State Gov’t to Commit to Getting 50% of Its Electricity from Solar Power

By next year, Pennsylvania will get 50 percent of its electricity from ten new solar arrays around the Commonwealth - making Pennsylvania the first state in the country to commit to getting half of its energy from solar power. With that commitment, Pennsylvania is leading the nation in getting energy from renewable resources that include solar and wind power, beating out states traditionally known for clean energy like California and Texas.
