Abstract:
While there is little doubt that a significant expansion of solar generation in Pennsylvania is technically and economically achievable, policies to drive this transition have struggled to gain traction. The Finding Pennsylvania’s Solar Future Project—a multi-year effort engaging more than 300 stakeholders—identified key policy measures to drive this transition. In this seminar, we’ll discuss what has been accomplished, what is left to do, and the legal and policy obstacles to increased solar generation in the commonwealth.
